Kibitzer's Corner
May-18-05  woodenbishop: Pal Benko has long been an interesting character in top ranked chess from the 50s to 70s... I like his combative style as well as his chess compositions. Here he defeats one of the most feared and respected players of that era, the great Korchnoi.
Jan-25-11  dumbgai: Korchnoi must have thought this endgame would be easily drawn, considering how willingly he traded off all the pieces.
