Talk:Viktor Korchnoi

I've inserted "sometimes" into the assertion that Korchnoi is reckoned to be the best player never to be world champ - plenty of others have been called that (Keres and Rubinstein are the two that come immediately to mind, I'm sure there are more). Also, were Korch and Karpov really "friends" when they played in '74? I thought they'd always been mortal enemies, but I could well be wrong. --Camembert
- Malathion 22:31, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) I think it's pretty clear that Anand is the strongest player never to be world champion, although I guess that has yet to be determined. I'm removing this line, as it seems to be too controversial.
I know, as the article says, that it is "oft repeated", and I'm not really doubting its veracity, but could we perhaps give a source supporting the "can I castle when my rook is attacked" story? In particular, could we give the source in which Korchnoi himself confirmed the story? --Camembert
