The legendary Viktor Korchnoi was born 90 years ago in 1931. One of the absolute best players to have missed out on becoming the World Champion, Korchnoi featured in two World Championship matches and was one of the fiercest competitors one could come across. He is also remembered for his incredible longevity - he became a GM in 1956 at the age of 25 and won the Swiss Championship in 2011 at the age of 80! Bert Verhoeff/Anefo
