I hope Korchnoi gets World Title which eluded him from Karpov.
It’s hard to think of a more inspiring chessplayer than this guy. He really stays the course.
I recently saw on Chessbase that Korchnoi gave a 20-board simul and only conceded two draws — at age 75! The man is amazing.
Korchnoi is the man!!!
See Korchnoi in person at the 2007 National Open in Vegas!
