{Viktor Lvovich Korchnoi[2] (Russian: Ã'øÌÂúтþр ÛьòþÌÂòøч
ÚþрчýþÌÂù; IPA: [kÉÂrtáɕˈnoj]; born March 23, 1931) is a
professional chess player, author and until recently the oldest active
grandmaster on the tournament circuit. He is widely considered the strongest
player to have never become World Chess Champion. Born in Leningrad, USSR,
Korchnoi defected to the Netherlands in 1976, and has been residing in
Switzerland for many years. Korchnoi played three matches against Anatoly
Karpov. In 1974, he lost the Candidates final to Karpov, who was declared
world champion in 1975 when Bobby Fischer refused to defend his title. He then
won two consecutive Candidates cycles to qualify for World Championship
matches with Karpov in 1978 and 1981, losing both. Korchnoi was a candidate
for the World Championship on ten occasions (1962, 1968, 1971, 1974, 1977,
1980, 1983, 1985, 1988 and 1991). He was also a four-time USSR chess champion,
a five-time member of Soviet teams that won the European championship, and a
six-time member of Soviet teams that won the Chess Olympiad. In September 2006,
he won the World Senior Chess Championship.} 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. f4
