Sad news. It's amazing how long he kept playing for, and so strongly.

In Mexico we regret this terrible loss for the world of chess. See you soon, master Korchnoi.

Thanks for letting us know, Ron.  His longevity was amazing.  There is a nice retrospective on the man at ChessBase, complete with photos.
