...tireless campaigner"? Absolutely! "Shocked." Yes, its easy to play to a crowd, but my statements to the tenants were honest and their lack of endorsement does not mean I will abandon their interests. "Fighting back tears?" Hardly. A snappy dresser? "Aggressive?" Its great to be a woman candidate. A stalking horse for Brattle Street conservatives? Silly talk at a time when there's much too much at stake.

Unstable as this course may seem, it does have an inherent...

Korchnoi plays with creative abandon, moving "out of book" into unexplored permutations. A book play proved crucial in the match's opening contest. Korchnoi made questionable exchanges at moves 10 and 12, allowing Karpov to execute a centerboard attack on the 24th move. Korchnoi resigned a hopeless position after the 43rd turn...
