  Honza Cervenka: Chessgames.com, the gamescore of this game is not correct. 32.Re3 was played, not 32.Rd3.

  Honza Cervenka: 30...Qf6 is certainly bad. Korchnoi should have tried 30...Bc4 31.Qxc6 Bf7. After trading of Queens his position is hopeless. If 32...Rad8, then 33.Rg3+ Kh8 34.Be7 Rxd7 35.Bxf6+ Rg7 36.Rxg7 and if 32...Bc4, then 33.Rg3+ Kh8 34.Be7 Rxe7 35.Rxe7
Apr-05-04  f1list: after 25 .. f6 the queen cannnot go to c5. better.

  Honza Cervenka: After 25...f6 white can win immediately playing 26.Rxg7+
Apr-11-06  aragorn69: Korchnoi, that incorrigible pawn-grabber...

  gezafan: I'm amazed that Korchnoi snatched that pawn. It's well known in such positions that you can't take that pawn.

According to an interview with Boris Spassky, after losing this game to Cramling, Korchnoi attacked her to the point she started crying. I assume he meant verbally attacked.

Aug-21-19  Ricosupercapo: Korchnoi was a notoriously bad loser, and he was particularly malicious with female players. His behaviour was unacceptable.

  MissScarlett: I'd have kneed him in the crotch. That would've made his eyes water.
Mar-27-20  jith1207: I came here to read the comments about how he reacted after losing the game. Surely wasn't surprised.
May-17-21  Justin796: Lol who wants to lose to a girl?
