Viktor Korchnoi's legacy with new shades might be addictive! Viktor Kortschnoi on the Monday after the first weekend in February 2007 in Rüdersdorf close to Berlin. The day earlier than he had performed for the small village close to Berlin in the Second Bundesliga on the primary board and had given GM Borki Predojevic a "lesson" in the French Defence. The Bosnian listened slightly reverently within the post-mortem evaluation that was customary in those days. The three youngsters have been extra relaxed the next day in an analysis session with half a century of age difference between them, as a result of the chess legend needed madness and any suggestion was welcome. He was also not afraid - as I reported for Chess Magazine sixty four at the time - to flaunt a defeat in the French and praise his opponent's ideas. Everything was put to the check, persistently and ruthlessly. It turned a time-consuming session and after two and a half hours his associate Petra Leeuwerik almost needed to drag him away in order that the 76-yr-previous might take a nap before a simultaneous in the evening.
