  • Karpov - Korchnoi

    It's a trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=P63mq4LZgUU. Should be an interesting one.

    Thanks Victor. Can't wait until this documentary premieres in Spring 2018.

    There is an error in the trailer @02:36 - the screen caption says "Veselin Topalov / Former World Champion". :p

      That is not an error. He dominated the eight-player, double round-robin FIDE World Chess Championship in San Luis, Argentina, held from September to October 2005. He scored 6½/7 in the 1st half, then drew every game in the 2nd half to win by 1½ points!

        Right. That's where the smiley in my original post came from. :p

        Topalov is "Former World Champion" only in the same sense as Ponomariov or Kasimdzhanov are. :) Kasparov and Kramnik remained undisputed Classical World Champions during the split years (1993-2006). No one would have objected if the caption said "Veselin Topalov / Former FIDE World Champion".
