    Looking at a list of former US chess champions, I noticed Bobby Fischer was champion for a few years, then between it was Larry Evans, and then Bobby Fischer again. Did Fischer not defend or did Evans beat Fischer (which I find unlikely since I have never heard of Evans and the whole world knows Bobby Fischer as probably one of the best in chess history)?
