Fair play in chess

In this game, as in life it is important know how to win, but also to know how to lose. The players must have an exemplary conduct and be cordials for his adversaries, independently of the result of the play.




In this video the GM Korchnoi (defeated finalist of 3 matches for the Chess World Championship), show what the strength of play has nothing to do with the good manners, and has an exaggerated reaction when he loses for time in a wining position against Sofia Polgar (the younger of the clan Polgar).
Probably it was only a bad moment of one of the most emblematic figures of our art...
