Korchnoi is amazing.
Yes he is. In bed.
Older players should be honored.
Moderator, if you would, examine and or recommend this blog about Dr. Petar Trifunovich’s USA visit in 1962 along with a story on José Raúl Capablanca, the Cuban Chess Champion’s visit to Memphis in 1909, 1910, & 1915. memphischessclub.blogspot.com
Yes, Korchnoi is amazing but he never won the world championship in chess. We need a fact-checker here.
The amazing Mr Korchnoi.
