Hi everyone,

I found this original Polaroid of Viktor Korchnoi inside a rare chess book.

  • Date: Feb 13, 1977 (shortly after his defection).

  • Location: Brazil (likely São Paulo), note the "Deca" logo on the score sheet.

  • Back: Original newspaper clipping of the Ljubojević vs. Korchnoi (1976) game.

As a FEXERJ member, I'm looking for info about this event or if anyone recognizes the young player facing him. Is this a known exhibition?

Thanks for any insights!
