how do you reckon Karpovs team managed to encode move suggestions into his yoghurt to help him beat Korchnoi in 1978 ?

True.  But as much of a Korchnoi as i am.  I think he was a little bit paranoid.  But considering he was fighting Karpov, the KGB, and his family being held.  I cant blame him for overthinking things.

Korchnoi looked superb in the mirror fronts.

if you think about it, if they banned the yoghurt, then next up would probably have been tea leaves.

Today or in the more recent past it would be another thing though. Just imagine if a player at only one occasion during the game had a youghurt delivered, at the most complicated position. Raspberry yoghurt means move queen, yellow spoon means g-file, etc.
