laskereshevsky: The first time a chess-friend showed me this game in the club, my reaction after the first 8 moves was: "What the heck have to do this with the chess?!..." But after 15/20 minutes of analisis we was really impressed by the Korch's play...
Few months later in a tournament game, i reached a position when after 10/12 moves from the opening, the "crazy" ...pg5 move was asked by the position. But being a player inclined to follow the classical GM's play, for a lot of minutes i wasnt able to push myself throught....
Suddendly I remembered about this game, and the line of my thought was about like ehis: <"If U dont believe in your own (mediocral) chess player capacity, at least believe in the Korch's one!>..."
I Played the move, my opponent was astonished, but after few moves I had had a clear edge... after my victory, the "White" player confessed that his reaction to g5 was: <"What is this?!... but when few moves later your position was clearly better, i said to myself YOU DONT UNDERSTAND NOTHING ABOUT CHESS!">...
Its funny, cose those were almost exactly the same words i said to myself after a little more deep analisys of the Korch's game....
Down the hat to VIKTOR THE TERRIBLE..
