[THIS MATCH FOR TEAM WITH FEWER THAN 1000 MEMBERS - TOP 20 BOARDS] ........ Viktor Korchnoi (1931-2016) passed away on 16 June. Our loss is Valhalla's gain. Korchnoi was a World Class Grandmaster and several times candidate for the World Title. He achieved his greatest fame, however, after he defected and became a pain in the Soviet's chess neck. It had been determined that the KGB had ordered to assassinate him if he defeated Karpov.
