The decisive game in the semi-final Candidates Match Polugaevsky - Korchnoi 1980

The confrontation between Lev Polugaevsky and Viktor Korchnoi is considered one of the best in the history of Candidates' Matches. In addition to the purely chess aspect, there was also a personal feud between the two former colleagues in Soviet chess. After Korchnoi escaped from the USSR, Polugaevsky was forced to join the collective media campaign to harass his former comrade. Korchnoi knew this and never forgave Polugaevsky. Their 1977 match was a crushing blow to Polugaevsky, but in this 1978-1981 cycle, Lev was in his prime, while Korchnoi was beginning to experience a decline and the end of his career. Korchnoi - Polugaevsky Candidates Semifinal (1980). Game 14. Buenos Aires, Argentina, 21 July - 20 August 1980.
