PentaxkeRemembering Korchnoi.
Shout out to Viktor Korchnoi who would have turned 94 today and which is considered to be the strongest player never becoming world champion (although he is the only player to have won or drawn—in individual game(s)—against every reigning World Chess Champion.
Still have fond memories of when I played my strongest opponent in a #simul in #Ostend, #Belgium in 2004. Needless to say, I lost gracefully. That day, already well into his seventies, he didn’t loose one game (IIRC 38 - 2 - 0!)
