In the past year, we've lost several great chess players. Sadly, we've lost another.

GM Larry Evans, 5-time U.S. Championship winner and Bobby Fischer's second in the 1972 World Chess Championship, died yesterday due to complications from surgery. He was 78.

Evans was also an author, writing numerous books and chess-related articles, as well as writing several tutorials for the Chessmaster series.
