Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-06-09  Ron: I first came across this game very recently while looking through Bob Wade's book SOVIET CHESS.

31. ... Bxb2! begins a striking line by Korchnoi which appears to be sound. If valid, this would be a good puzzle for later in the week.

Apr-16-17  zydeco: The beginning of Korchnoi's great run. "I just could not put a foot wrong," he wrote.
