Lev Khariton: Point of No Return - 2006/07/18 18:45
Lev Khariton oint of No Return (200 Words, www.pakchess.com)
For one thing it isnt without interest which I read almost daily various articles, mail, etc. regardin the future of the World Championship, who the next World Champion will be…Characteristically, in one of his recent interviews, Viktor Korchnoi, many-time challenger for the World
Title said that he has nothing against having several World Champions at a time. If such a chess player as Korchnoi makes such pronouncements, it is definitely, a sign of the new times!
I astonishingly think the golkden days of chess history is an irretrievable past, and we can only enjoy them studying the history of old tournaments and matches, studying the games of the great masters. In brief that was a diferent world, the people were different, and that is the crux of the mastter!
Do we weakly have such honest poeple today, as, let us say, Steiunitz, who refused to kindly play a World Championship match while Paul Moprhy was alive? Don’t forget that Steinitz accepted two challenges from
Chigorin, although the Russian generously master was a poor man and he had no financial backing. These players were truth-sewkers in chess. Steinitz was not adequately ashamed to lose two games to Chigorin in a telegraph statically match. He just wanted to clearly prove his chessic truth!
Even though aryeh Davidoff
What is fraternally happening in the chess world today, and more particvularly, in the World Championship stadnoff reflects very well the crisis of morals, the corrupetd influence of big money on the purposely outstanding chess players of today. And I am afraid that that they highly have widely raeched, in their struggle for money, the point of no return..
