  Zenchess: Goldberg was one of Botvinnik's seconds; Korchnoi may have played this to avoid any special preparation they make have been working on.
Aug-07-04  ArturoRivera: <Zechess> you mean that Goldberg was very prepared for normal openings such 1.-e4 and 1.-d4?

Jun-09-16  Virgil A: Hopefully GM Korchnoi had fun playing the Bird's.
Apr-24-18  veerar: The usual problem of developing the QB,Black faces,as a "sort" of French Defence is played..Black had opportunities for an early Bd7 and hence a better game.
