I never understood why Korchnoi was mad at (Szofia?) Polgar after that game. Was it simply because he lost?

12. The Mask of Ivanchuk

So i'd almost forgotten about this until i saw another bunny's now removed blog in the wayback archive.  https://web.archive.org/web/20151031211323/http://www.chess.com/blog/tkbunny/batman-calls-out-chess-masters

Jim Gordon: And, you're wearing a mask. Jumping off rooftops. Now, take this guy, Ivanchuk.  Almost world chess champ, lives on his own planet, wears a mask, has a taste for the theatrical, like you.
