A look at the American Grandmaster. Fischer called him "Lo" but I label him under rated

"Under rated" as a player or writer?

Mr Winter would certainly disagree with the latter viewpoint.

The early stuff by Evans was good, maybe both as player and as writer. I know what Winter has written but I don't try to be so unkind. EGW is entitled to his view and I've probably read all his stuff ..
