But his latest victories add another dramatic touch to his personal history. Whereas he was virtually world player number two for more than a quarter of a century without ever getting to meet the World Champion in a title match, he has now placed ahead of Larsen in a Swedish tournament and two points ahead of World Champion Petrosyan in Bamberg.
