	Viktor Korchnoi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korchnoi took the opportunity of the match to publicise the situation of his wife and son, drafting an open letter to the Soviet government to release them both.
		During the next cycle Korchnoi had moved to the United States, and was matched to play the young Russian protege Garry Kasparov who at the time was battling against the Russian chess federation that was clearly in favour of Anatoly Karpov.
		Korchnoi seems to have great fondness for Garry Kasparov - possibly because he recognised the situation Kasparov was in - a prominent talent overlooked by the Russian bureaucracy.

	The chess games of Viktor Korchnoi
		Viktor Lvovich Korchnoi was born March 23rd, 1931 in Leningrad.
		Korchnoi left the USSR in 1976, and two years later he finally managed to win the Candidates and qualify to play Karpov for the title.
		It seems Korchnoi also impressed the arbiter and the first game is played again(?) Of course it must have been a drawn position and Fressinet decided to be the good host for his famous opponent.
