Luchador incansable
Viktor Korchnoi (23 de marzo de 1931 – 6 de junio de 2016) fue uno de los grandes maestros más importantes del siglo XX y durante décadas fue considerado un serio aspirante al título de campeón del mundo. Formado en la Unión Soviética, pronto se consolidó entre la élite mundial, pero su carácter independiente lo llevó a entrar en conflicto, de manera cada vez más profunda, con las autoridades estatales.
In this video course, experts (Pelletier, Marin, Müller and Reeh) examine the games of Viktor Korchnoi. Let them show you which openings Korchnoi chose to play, where his strength in middlegames were, or how he outplayed his opponents in the endgame.

En 1976 desertó hacia Occidente durante un torneo y posteriormente quedó apátrida, mientras su familia en la Unión Soviética fue objeto de represión. A pesar de estas dificultades personales, Korchnoi continuó compitiendo al más alto nivel hasta una edad avanzada.
Sus mayores logros llegaron como aspirante al título mundial frente a Anatoly Karpov en los matches por el Campeonato del Mundo de 1978 y 1981. Estos encuentros no solo fueron de altísimo nivel deportivo, sino que también estuvieron cargados de tensión política y fueron percibidos internacionalmente como un enfrentamiento simbólico entre la Unión Soviética y Occidente.
Korchnoi siguió activo en torneos hasta una edad muy avanzada y era conocido por su incansable espíritu de lucha, su fortaleza psicológica y su estilo de juego sin concesiones. Se le considera uno de los jugadores más fuertes de la historia que nunca llegaron a ganar el título mundial.
