Aug-20-11  technical draw: The only game in the database for Biritcher and he beats the mighty Korchnoi. Simul?
Sep-29-22  Scuvy: Scuvy: Answering technical draw, 11 years later...a bit of internet research shows a 1974 New York blitz tournament in which Korchnoi scored 7 wins, 1 loss (this game) and 1 draw (with Hort). I am convinced the player of the Black pieces in this game was actually James Bricher, a multiple-times Oregon State Champion. Bricher was a fine player and exceedingly modest about his accomplishments in chess; a rumor had gone around in our circles (the Eugene Chess Club) that James had travelled to New York for a tournament and had actually beaten Korchnoi! When I saw him later, I asked him if this was true. James declined to answer me directly but gave me a small smile, a characteristic of his when he was pleased with a game he had played well.
Sep-29-22  Scuvy: *Correction--it was 10 rounds, Korchnoi had draws with Hort and Timman.
Oct-02-22  technical draw: <Scuvy> Thanks for that info. I've had longer waits for replies.
