Our poor Sam is so inept on even simple matters. The Evans article
in question, "The Tragedy of Paul Keres," appeared in the October
**--1996--** issue of Chess Life.

I know, because I have that issue in front of me as I type this. I'm
sure even Larry Parr, Sam's most ardent supporter in this forum, will
agree Sam is wrong in claiming the Evans article did not appear until
1999.
This Evans date has been stated many times on this forum, so Sam has
not even the wisp of an excuse. When Sam wants to claim something is a
lie, facts are of no importance, and he is quite willing to lie
himself.
Perhaps Sam did too much LSD back at Cal Berkeley, while listening
to Jim Hendrix:

"Well if 6 / Turned out to be 9 / I don't mind."

Sam and Jimi may not mind, but most of us do.

Looking back at other Sloan posts, it's quite easy to find other
erroneous statements Sam has written about me over the years. Two
others are:

1. That chess historian Edward G. Winter and I are the same person
(3 ch 2006, see http://tinyurl.com/382e2z).
2. That I was born in 1956. (ibid.)

Most recently, and to me most amusing, is the revelation that while
Sam has for years been highly critical of my articles on the Keres-
Botvinnik case, he has never actually read them. This despite their
being published in Chess Life and being available at www.chesscafe.com
for about 10 years now.
This explains a lot, in particular Sam's railing about things
supposedly in the articles, but which actually are not there at all.
For example this, from http://tinyurl.com/2389j6 on 13 ch 2008:

"Taylor Kingston wrote here that, based on his own analysis of the
games, the games were legitimate and not thrown."

In fact I never wrote anything of the sort.

It is a never-ending source of wonder to me that factual reality
plays such a small part in Sam Sloan's world. Sam, here are a couple
of theme songs for you:
