Karpov-Korchnoi Massacre in Merano - 2nd hand
Keene Raymond
Descrizione
When Viktor Korchnoi lost by the narrowest of margins to Anatoly Karpov in Baguio City in 1978, many experts thought it would be his last attempt at the World Championship. However, at the age of 50, he again fought his way through several bitter clashes to earn the right to challenge for a crown he has so eagerly sought since defecting from the USSR in 1976.
Grandmaster Raymond Keene is uniquely placed to write this gripping account of the 'revenge' match in Merano. He was Korchnoi's second at the last World Championship match but his relationship with the challenger soured amid bitter altercations about gurus, and the sinister Soviet parapsychologist Zukhar which caused his subsequent resignation. He now provides the answer to "Anti-Chess", Korchnoi's embittered account of the previous match.
