The facts that interest me are those related to the
evidence that GM Keene and Larry Parr have to
present and the degree to which they are willing
to be honest about what that evidence demonstrates.
It seems to me that it is GM Keene and Larry Parr
who are eager for us to move on to some subject
other than the evidence that they have already
presented.
_
Right now, I am trying to find out whether or not
Larry Parr agrees with what GM Keene apparently
believes: that the Edward Winter "sales ... merit"
quote can be fairly described as a "claim" "that
kasparov's contribution to bco batsford chess
openings was ghosted".
_
Why should that be a problem for GM Keene?
For that matter, why should it be a problem for
Larry Parr? He seems eager to be supportive of
GM Keene. And yet, I am still waiting for Larry
Parr to answer the question.
_
_
Some background to this matter:
_
"Edward winter ... once claimed that kasparov's
contribution to bco batsford chess openings was
ghosted ..." - GM Keene quote reported by
Larry Parr (25 Jan 2006 06:02:49 -0800)
_
_
"Can GM Keene, Larry Parr, or anyone
else back this up with a quote from a
verifiable source?" - Louis Blair (25 Jan 2006
10:04:33 -0800)
_
_
"winter clearly impugned authorship in
chess notes" - GM Keene quote reported
by Larry Parr (25 Jan 2006 17:28:36 -0800)
_
_
"A much more vague claim than the one
from eleven and a half hours earlier."
- Louis Blair (25 Jan 2006 22:42:40 -0800)
_
_
"WINTER'S QUOTE HAS BEEN FOUND!
_
By GM Raymond Keene
_
Winter ... (1983): '---the exact role of
Kasparov. Is his name there more for
sales than for merit?'" - GM Keene
communication reported by Larry Parr
(27 Jan 2006 15:30:26 -0800)
_
_
"Do GM Keene and Larry Parr seriously
contend that the Edward Winter QUESTION
can be fairly described as a 'claim' 'that
kasparov's contribution to bco batsford
chess openings was ghosted'?" - Louis
Blair (28 Jan 2006 16:03:20 -0800)
_
After about two and a half months:
_
"Yes. Da. Ja. Oui. SIi.
_
Explicitly: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
_
I am saying so loud and clear. For crying
out loud -- what else do Edward Winter's
words mean? He is saying as evidently
as possible that BCO was ghosted and
that Kasparov was not a genuine author."
- GM Keene quote reported by Larry
Parr (15 Apr 2006 06:46:44 -0700)
_
_
"If I am following GM Keene correctly, he
is saying (at last) that the Edward Winter
'sales ... merit' quote can be fairly described
as [a 'claim' 'that kasparov's contribution to
bco ... was ghosted']. Does Larry Parr go
along with that or not?" - Louis Blair
(15 Apr 2006 20:51:11 -0700)
_
_
"It is now more than 24 hours later, and still
no answer, ... striking behavior for a person
who has been so supportive of GM Keene
in this thread.
_
One indication that we have is that, about a
month and a half ago (27 Feb 2006
20:22:25 -0800), Larry Parr declared that
GM Keene 'made the claim [that Edward
Winter claimed that Batsford Chess
Openings was ghosted]. Not I.'
_
Why wasn't Larry Parr also making the
claim at that point? The 'sales ... merit'
quote had been mentioned three times
in his notes. Why would Larry Parr be
reluctant to publicly agree if the meaning
is as clear as GM Keene seems to want
us to believe?
_
One more thing about this 15 Apr 2006
06:46:44 -0700 reported communication
from GM Keene:
_
'KEENE'S FINAL REPLY TO
LOUIS BLAIR'
_
Why does GM Keene seem so determined
to get away from this subject?" - Louis Blair
