| Oct-14-03 | | tud: That's a game from the so called pre-arranged match Korchnoi - Petrosian. Korchnoi looses, his attack instinct goes too far. He overestimates his position and does not see a beautiful 23b4. In that 1971 year he looses 3 times to Petrosian, because he was under Petrosian. |
|
| Jul-01-05 | | aw1988: Petrosian and Korchnoi have very different styles. Korchnoi is known as the famous fighter who disdains draws, a real attacker who likes lively chess, whilst Petrosian can make practically any position favorable to him. See a problem here? It would be appropriate to dub such a match "Master vs Grasshopper". |

| Sep-21-06 | | Everett: I'm assuming the finish is 42.Qg4 |
|
| Sep-21-06 | | suenteus po 147: <Everett> You assume correctly. There's no way to save the knight AND prevent checkmate. |
|
| Sep-22-06 | | nitram: Hi
How about Qe6? |
|
| Sep-22-06 | | Everett: 42.Qe6 fxg3 looks very dangerous. |
|
| Dec-31-06 | | talisman: what was the reason given to korchnoi to throw the game? |
|
| Dec-31-06 | | Caissanist: Did any sane person ever say that this was prearranged? I always thought that Korchnoi would rather spend his life in the gulag than throw a match to anybody, Petrosian in particular. |
|
| Dec-31-06 | | nikolajewitsch: Did anyone ever claim it was prearranged? I thought this was the match that, according to Korchnoi, was played at a very noisy place so Petrosian could just turn off his hearing-aid, which gave him a substantial advantage. Nice game, anyway. |
|
| Dec-31-06 | | NBZ: 42. Qe6 fxg3 Qh6+ mates. |
|
| Dec-31-06 | | talisman: <nikolajewitsch> i can't imagine korchnoi throwing any game either.i wonder if they were talking about a fischer factor. |
|
| Jan-02-07 | | talisman: just ordered "chess is my life". hoping it's a good read.curious as to what victor has to say about tigran and these times.by the way anybody read the book? |
|
| Jan-02-07 | | wharfrat: <nikolajewitsch> I have read stories about noise and Petrosian turning down his hearing aid in three different Petrosian matches: the quarter-final match against Huebner in 1971 played in Seville, and quarter-final matches against Korchnoi in 1977 and 1980 played in Ciocco and Velden, respectively. This game was played in Moscow, where a match at this level would have been played in a concert hall or auditorium with suitable crowd controls. |
|
| Jan-12-07 | | talisman: finishing "chess is my life". Mandatory reading.KORCH didn't "throw" anything.in the last hour of play petrosian would start kicking his leg under the table.korchnoi finally says."do you want to say something to me?" petrosian complains to the ref..."he's talking to me during play" the ref agrees w/ petrosian and petrosian resumes kicking his leg.KORCH:"this is your last chance!"....one thing not in the book(somebody tell me where i read it...maybe jude acers) petrosian adjusting his hearing aid accidently kicks KORCH.i'm going to paraphrase and not look up the quote.everybody kind of stops and takes a deep breath knowing the match can blow up and KORCH says ...mr. petrosian would you please look for your adavantages above the board and not below it.
great read.the best thing about the book is korchnoi does not paint himself as a saint.he talks about his obstinate nature etc...you know when i was young i thought the frank sinatra song "i did it my way" (written by paul anka) was kind of egotistical.now i say it's a great victor korchnoi theme song.anyway i recommend the book |

| Jan-12-07 | | devinjc: It seems to me that white in this game is playing a reverse beioni/KID type setup, but one that is particularly poor. |
|
| Jul-10-07 | | sanyas: Sometimes, horrifically cramped positions like the one Petrosian assumed in this game turn out to be tenable. This was not one of those times. Instead of the tactical miscue 21...♔h8? (Do not hurry!) Korchnoi should instead have played 21...♗c3, with a total grip on the position, which leaves him free to pursue various attacking ideas which should eventually prove decisive. In fact, it is quite a challenge to defend Petrosian's position after 21...♗c3. |
|
| Jul-10-07 | | Petrosianic: >>Mandatory reading.KORCH didn't "throw" anything.in the last hour of play petrosian would start kicking his leg under the table.>> That incident is actually from their 1974 Candidates Match, not the 1971 one. You can read about it here (near the bottom): http://www.chessdryad.com/articles/... |

| Dec-25-07 | | notyetagm: Petrosian vs Korchnoi, 1971 GM Keene writes in his excellent book "Petrosian vs the Elite", on page 201, concerning this position: 
click for larger view<As with so many of Petrosian's winning finales, the aesthetic aggregation of force in the centre serves as fitting testimony to his serene style."> |

| Jun-26-08 | | Ulhumbrus: 28...Qf7 prevents Nxc6 by pinning the N on d4 to the Rook on a2. 29 Rd2 unpins the N on d4 whereupon 28...Bd7 defends the c6 pawn. |
|
| Nov-22-08 | | Sem: Talisman, great quotes from the Korchnoi book, thanx! |
|
| Nov-22-08 | | stoy: Remember that Korchnoi & Petrosian played four candidates matches: 1971, 1974, 1977, & 1980 with Korchnoi winning the last three. They were apparently on good terms before the 1971 match but not in 1974. The 1977 match was the "Match of Hate". A wooden board was put between them to prevent kicking. Petrosian tried the same opening as in game 9 here with Korchnoi against Fischer in their candidates match: game 6 and Fischer was ready and crunched Tigran. Korchnoi's lifetime score against Petrosian is positive according to this database. |
|
| Nov-24-08 | | Sem: I love these stories. Years ago I read an anecdote about Petrosian. The Soviet team played the Danish team at a chess olympiad, and Petrosian's opponent was very much afraid of the Armenian grandmaster. He therefore tried to fix Petrosian with a hypnotic stare as soon as he had played his move. Petrosian's solution was to play a move instantaneously and then fix the Dane on his turn. The Danish position went from bad to worse and the Danish master now looked down at the board, while Petrosian kept staring at him. Guess who won. |
|
| Nov-24-08 | | slomarko: the Danish master? |
|
| Nov-24-08 | | Jim Bartle: If I were afraid of an opponent, I'd get him his tea, arrange his chair, ask him if he slept well... |
|
| Dec-01-08 | | Sem: Nice try, slomarko. Keep it up! |
