⚫️ #about_Korchnoi
▪️ Viktor Korchnoi
▪️ Soviet and Swiss chess grandmaster
♦️ Viktor Lvovich Korchnoi was a Soviet and Swiss chess grandmaster and writer. He is considered one of the strongest players never to have become World Chess Champion.
🔘 Full name: Viktor Lvovich Korchnoi
🔘 Country: Soviet Union (until 1976)
Switzerland (since 1994)
🔘 Born: 23 March 1931
Leningrad, Soviet Union
🔘 Died: 6 June 2016 (aged 85)
Wohlen, Switzerland
🔘 Title: Grandmaster (1956)
🔘 Peak rating: 2695 (January 1979)
♦️ Korchnoi continued his chess career to play in Europe and around the world to an advanced age, living in his adopted country of Switzerland. He frequently represented their Olympiad team on top board, beginning in 1978, even though his Elo rating was sometimes considerably below that of compatriot Vadim Milov, who appeared not to make himself available for selection.
♦️ From 2001 onwards, Korchnoi became a prolific author of books on his career, publishing five new volumes, including two books of annotated games, an updated autobiography, and an overview (along with several other authors) of Soviet politics applying to chess; he also wrote a book on rook endings.
♦️ In September 2006 Korchnoi won the 16th World Senior Chess Championship, held in Arvier (Valle d'Aosta, Italy), at age 75, with a 9–2 score. Korchnoi scored 7½–½ in his first eight games, then drew his last three games.
♦️ On the January 2007 FIDE rating list Korchnoi was ranked number 85 in the world at age 75, by far the oldest player ever to be ranked in the FIDE top 100. The second-oldest player on the January 2007 list was Alexander Beliavsky, age 53, who was 22 years younger than Korchnoi. As of 2011, Korchnoi was still active in the chess world with a notable win (in Gibraltar) with black against the 18-year-old Fabiano Caruana, who was rated above 2700 and 61 years Korchnoi's junior.
♦️Korchnoi became the oldest player ever to win a national championship, when he won the 2009 Swiss championship at age 78. He won the national title again a few months after his 80th birthday in July 2011 after a playoff game with Joseph Gallagher.
♦️ A memorable game by Korchnoi👇🏼
🔸 Mikhail Tal vs Viktor Korchnoi
🔸 Moscow (1968), rd 5, Jul-04
🔸 Spanish Game: Closed Variations. Chigorin Defense (C98)
This game is one of Korchnoi's Inspirational Games!!

An interesting pawn sacrifice. Nakamura gains the initiative with keeping his opponent's king in the center.

After Topalov - Svidler game in 2006, this line was considered as a dubious idea. However, further games have cast new light on this move.
