Korchnoi will fight back!
Wow, Korchnoi found his way to a theoretical draw with R vs. R+f,h-pawns. Let’s see if he knows how to hold it.
I am playing in the National Open and Viktor should have lost but was able to get a draw agains a weak master!
I also got to see Susan Polgar!
Have to go, round 2 is starting!
He drew being 2 pawns down.
Egad. It would be nice to be able to watch the games, but the Monroi site is just not doing it…very slow response. Sigh.
