Viktor Korchnoi’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Viktor Korchnoi was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
Master of aggressive counter-attacks and considered one of the greatest players to never win a World Chess Championship.
He graduated from Leningrad State University in Saint Petersburg with a degree in history.
While almost exclusively a counter-attacker early in his career, he became proficient at initiating attacks and developed a deadly endgame.
He grew up in the USSR; his father was Jewish, and his mother was Catholic.
His counter-attacking style was a natural foil to Grandmaster Mikhail Tal's all-out attack, giving Tal lots of trouble in their matches.
