"Grey opens and wins" - this was the title given by one chess columnist to his report on the match between Karpov and Kortchnoi, or rather the match between Kortchnoi and the Soviet Union together with its numerous friends. The House of Freedom in America once produced a map of the world on which totalitarian countries and those with dictatorships were coloured black whilst free countries were left white. Unfortunately, this optimistic black and white view of the world is no longer accurate. After ten years of gradual surrender, called detante, the dominant colour on the map is grey: the grey areas of Soviet influence. How could the apolitical figure of Viktor Kortchnoi have known he would land in the thick of this struggle when he chose the distant "non-aligned" country of the Philippines?
