S. Chess Champion Larry Evans. Evans played 50 simultaneous games--and won 48, drew 2, and lost none. 'It was a shambles,' admits Walter Colby, member of the club's board of directors and one of the losers. In this picture Evans, left, makes move on the board of Lee Baumstein, 6611 Lindley Ave., Reseda."
