More amazing arrogance by Taylor Kingston. Everybody who writes a
letter to the editor of any publication such as Chess Life knows that
his letter will probably not be used and if it is used it will
probably be cut or altered.
This is particularly true of a column like "Evans on Chess" which is
less than two pages and is supposed to be about chess and not about
the continuation of old feuds.
If Larry Evans wants his column to continue to be published he must
provide material that is entertaining to the readers. There is nothing
in the slightest way entertaining about the postings Taylor Kingston
makes here and elsewhere. I am amazed that three or four of his
letters got published. Yet, Taylor Kingston continues to insist that
all of his letters should be published by Larry Evans and that they
should be unaltered.
On the other hand, Cafe Chess has an Internet bulletin board which has
unlimited capacity and where anybody can post. When certain authors
are not allowed to post there that really is censorship. For example,
I was once personally attacked on Chess Cafe. I tried to post a
response several times but my postings were always refused. So far
nothing that I have written has ever been posted to Chess Cafe. I
strongly suspect that Taylor Kingston was in some way involved in
stopping my responses from being posted.
I also received a threatening letter from Chess Cafe threatening to
sue me for unauthorized publication of a photo of Raymond Weinstein
which is on my website at http://www.samsloan.com/weinste.htm . This
letter from Chess Cafe said that that photo was the property of Edward
Winter. I wrote back that that photo had been published in Chess
Review magazine in 1960 and I doubt that Edward Winter owns the
publication rights to Chess Review. Nothing more was heard on this
matter.
