| Marmot PFL: At least he didn't call her a nappy headed ho. Be thankful for small favors. As great as korchnoi was it's too bad he can't relax and enjoy life now. |

| micartouse: Good for her. While I believe in respecting such players, he totally crossed the line here and was begging for worse than what she said. He gets away with that stuff because "he's a fighter" and all that crap. But many players even greater than him didn't behave that way all the time and it didn't hurt their game. |

| Ingolf: You can forgive a man a lot if he has lived through the siege of Leningrad. But who knows, maybe Irina Krush's fine riposte <Why do you have to be so unpleasant?> will make him behave in the future? |

| drkodos: Korchnoi is a rectal pore and always has been. His chessic accomplishments and the harassments in his life off the board in no way excuse his recent boorish and childish tantrums. I almost feel sorry for him, but refuse to have any sympathy because he never liked life. Even before all the bullcrap, he was always a nasty human being, and still is a waste of DNA and protein. |

| WannaBe: I'll get to see the old grouch (that's what I call him. =) later at Las Vegas. Will get some pics of the grump. And, apparently, from the ad in Chess Life, (and my reading/interpretation of the ad) he will be playing board one the whole tournament! |

| spasskey69: I had always had great respect for Korchnoi until this happened. Irina is my teacher and a wonderful person who is very ethical and respects the game. Incidents like this make me look at Korchnoi's difficulties in his matches with Petrosian, Spassky and Karpov in a very different light indeed.
What an unpleasant grumpy man. |

| Wolfgang01: Why being angry on Victor, Irina? He was angry because he lost and if you've had lost that game, You'ld be angry on yourself.
We all try to do our best playing. GM's on a higher level than the lower rated players. And somehow we must get ready with a loss. Bobby Fischer cried in his first years after a loss. The next day Bobby and Victor will forget it. New day – new luck! |

| whiteshark: Mädels, Ihr hättet Schachgeschichte schreiben können !! Einfach dem alten Sack 'mal was zwischen die Hörner geben - für seine Impertinenz. Hätte dem Bock bestimmt nicht geschadet. Aber Ihr seid eben nicht die Jungen Wilden. Schade fürs Schachtheater, allemal. |

| erniecohen: Okay, I'm starting to get really pissed off at "guess the move". It seems like questionable training practice to give only 2 points for correct moves like 19...Raf8 and 3 points to blunders like 19...Be6 and 26...g6. Perhaps as a minimal filter for choosing the games to offer, they should at least choose games where the winner isn't lost partway through. |

| KingG: <erniecohen> I agree. They really need to be more selective in the games they chose for this feature. I've played over some games where the side i was playing was almost lost for most of the game, and only won due to a very bad blunder. |

| Riverbeast: <"it's good to know theory, but you should learn how to play chess as well"> SHE should learn how to play chess? After you played 27. Rf2 ? Maybe it's time for some new glasses, old timer. I am a big fan of Korchnoi and his style of play. But this story sounds only too common among the sore losers in the chess world. They are mad at themselves for screwing up the game, and they have to take it out on the opponent by insulting them... I hate to say it, because they're not the only ones who do it, but I've noticed this attitude quite often among Russian players. They act like you stole their baby if you beat them. Even Kasparov has done this. Grow up...It's people like you who give chess, and chessplayers, a bad image |

Heh, this is Bronstein's trick! David had usually asking opponent behind his back: "How do I stand?" :) |

| Roark: What's up with analysing one's win with someone other than Kortchnoi? "...well arn't we allowed to as human beings...blah blah." Humbility and respect for one's opponent. |

| squlpt: Methinks Korchnoi doesn't like losing to women very much. He threw a tirade after he lost to Polgar too |
|
| Aug-31-09 |
| Blunderdome: I wonder if Korchnoi's antics have anything to do with what van Wely in a recent interview described as always playing for the future -- i.e., making himself so unpleasant that people are uncomfortable playing him, maybe a little off their game. |
