Closing Gambit: 1978 Korchnoi versus Karpov and the Kremlin

In the summer of 1978, two chess players, Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi, faced off in the World Chess Championship in the Philippines. But this was no ordinary match - it was a battle between the Soviet Communist Party's loyal follower and a recently defected dissident. As the world's press watched, the Soviet regime fought dirty to ensure their man emerged victorious, using tactics like parapsychologists, thought waves, flag wars, mirrored sunglasses, coded yogurt, and even enlisting the help of KGB agents and two Eastern mystics wanted for attempted murder. It's a true story that's stranger than fiction.
