Everyone wants to win. But few have the discipline, commitment, mental toughness, and will power to train like a champion. If it is easy then everybody would have done it.

🔗 Chess History (@MrMarksTV)

Exactly ten years ago inimitable Viktor Korchnoi, who would become 80 in two months, won a great game as black vs already top-20 Fabiano Caruana. There was never and there will be never such a passionate chess fighter as Viktor. Not a nice grandpa, often rude, but what a caliber!
