i read from Chess Life & Review 1971 that Korchnoi offered the draw. Geller in time trouble accepted the truce. |

Geller's second, Grandmaster Gufeld, went mad in the press room. He had just published a book about the Dragon Variation in which he pointed out the faults of 11.0-0-0 and 12.Bh6 and now his "boss" is playing it! Later, when Gufeld asked Geller his reason for doing so, the smiling grandmaster joked, "I don't read your books!" |

Sep-20-11 | | JoergWalter: <scormus> when your boss read your quote he said to me something like "hmm, hmm it will be remembered". |

Feb-05-12 | | King Death: Here's another quote I found involving Gufeld:
<"... A famous line of Korchnoi to Gufeld when Gufeld became a Grandmaster Gufeld :‘Now we are colleagues’?
Korchnoi : ‘No. Now you are a colleague of Damjanovic."> |

On the draw offer, courtesy of <Tabanus> and the <GOOBLE translator>: "At this point, Geller helplessly looked at his watch, then at the position, and suddenly ... Korchnoi offered a draw. Geller immediately reached out his hand in assent, though the position he undoubtedly winning. Of course, another judge would Korchnoi remark - he offered a draw at the course of the enemy (by FIDE rules draw can be offered only if your course!). But I kept silent - nerves rivals and so were extremely tense. But the final part of this dramatic party. Gufeld (second Geller): "How is it you Efim played 12. Ch6? After all, in my book it is said that this move is bad! "-" Yes, - said Geller - but I do not read your books! " http://porto-fr.odessa.ua/index.php... |
