Viktor Korchnoi

Viktor Korchnoi, a great chess player,loved and hated by many, has died today.
R.I.P.
(rest in pieces, preferably white)
Yes RIP to one of the best never to become WC. It is a great loss for the chess world.
Yesterday just played through a game of his against Karpov from the 1974 FIDE Candidates Final (game 2).
Oh, he was a fantastic GM, I didn't know he has died today. I hope we all remember him for a long time :(
Very sorry. It was one of my favorite players ...
I hope his soul rests in peace. I have seen some of his games, they are awesome.

Famous for playing to high standard well in to old age, death finally got hold of the old chess legend.
Tip of the hat to the fellow as he passes on.
