With regard to Phil Innes' points on Karpov, we
note that when Korchnoi's son was arrested and then,
on the eve of his second match with Karpov, beaten in
a labor camp -- well, we can't help imagining a fair
match between say Lasker and Capablanca in which the
latter tells Lasker that his friends are holding his
beloved wife, Martha. "She has unfortunately been
beaten quite a bit recently. A few busted ribs, you
know," says Capablanca.
Now, let's play a fair match of chess -- shouts
the supporters of the Cuban.
