In a field with Polugaevsky, Korchnoi, Huebner, Miles, Hort and Nunn - an average pre-inflation rating over 2530! - I was just hoping to achieve a 50% score. That task became immeasurably easier thanks to the following infamous game. In this position the game was adjourned for the third time. (For younger readers, in the era before computers, players were given a break for food and/or sleep after a certain number of hours and resumed the game at a later time.) During overnight analysis I came to the tentative conclusion that, thanks to an improbable, one piece counter-attack over the past dozen moves, White probably had enough counterplay to draw. Korchnoi, however, was sure he was winning. (He had beaten me in our two previous meetings.) The game was resumed at 9am on a Friday morning, the two of us arriving to conduct the game's last rites in a near-empty Biel Kongresshaus. I had raced away from breakfast with Cathy and Darryl Johansen at the Hotel Posta, my final comment being: "If I can keep checking, I'll draw. If he escapes the checks, he wins."
