Jul-23-06  luzhin: I can't believe that Korchnoi missed 14.b4 ;I imagine he intended to play 14..Nd3+, but it fails to 15.Kd2 and if 15..Nxb4 then 16.Bxb6 Nxc2 17.Bxb5+ is game over.

Jul-24-06  aragorn69: Another recent example, also in Korchnoi's cherished French Defense, is Shirov vs Korchnoi, 2004

Is there any other case of Viktor resigning as soon as here (in the French) ?

Jul-24-06  KingG: Interesting way of playing against the French.
Jul-19-21  Whitehat1963: Ooops!
Jul-19-21  areknames: Incredible. 13...Qc7 and Black looks just fine.
