Submitted by FM FM_Eric_Schiller on Sat, 08/15/2009 at 8:05pm.

Veterans Viktor Korchnoi and Jan Timman displayed their bona fides in the ealy rounds. Timman soared to first place while Korchnoi maintained a respectable 50%.

Jan Timman showed true understanding of the Nimzo-indian with effective play against Wiersma, his countryman in round 3.

 

In Round 5, Korchnoi showed his experience in Benoni formations against Chapman.

Korchnoi - wow.  I don't have to like him, but man do I repect his game.  I see some of the pimple faced GMs games on here and then see a game like that from Korchnoi.  That old man would annihliate most of these teenaged GMs OTB.

Timman and Korchnoi, like ghosts from the past. They still play and evidently, play well. God bless 'em, says I.

Yes, Timman is another of my favourite GMs. He was around when Fischer was trouncing almost everyone. Great game.

Korchnoi is seriously a pensioner! I have hopes to play into my eighties then!!
