So you admit that Edward Winter prosecutes his case doggedly against
his least favorite writers, namely Keene, Evans and Schiller, who
happen to be the three most prolific and popular chess writers in the
world.
Indeed, Edward Winter does this in much the same way that Taylor
Kingston came into this group only about three weeks ago and started
attacking me personally several times a day, when I had never said or
written one bad word about Taylor Kingston.
In fact, just about every word Edward Winter writes constites a
personal attack against a well known chess personality. Often these
attacks are disguised as a "correction" of something the well known
chess personality wrote or said.
Is not it an interesting coincidence that just about every word
written by Taylor Kingston also constitutes a personal attack against
a well known chess personality, often disguised as a "correction" of
something the well known chess personality wrote or said?
One thing that interests me is that in 1988 or 1989 I received a
letter from Edward Winter thanking me for something I had written. At
that time I was living in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates and Edward
Winter was on my list of prominent chess personalities I was sending
postal letters to. I have often wondered what I had written that
Edward Winter was thanking me for and whether he had used what I had
written in his "Chess Notes".
