The ever fighting Korchnoi!

On January 26th, just about two months shy of this 80th birthday, Victor Korchnoi beats a 2700+ rated player with black! This must be some sort of a record! At 79 to beat a player rated 2721? And with black! One wonders how many blank pages are still to be filled in the great history of one of the greatest fighting chess players of all time, Victor Korchnoi!



Instead of posting the game in a replayer, I suggest having a look at it from the tournament site with notes here: http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.com/gib2011/reportrd2.html

    Would be a big hit in a craigslist ad.
