This is a passage out of #9 The Weirdest World Championship from 10 Craziest Events In The History Of Chess. The event was the 1978 World Chess Championship between Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi.
“Korchnoi was also bothered by a member of the Soviet entourage named Vladimir Zukhar, a parapsychologist who would sit in the front row and stare malevolently at him. Korchnoi suspected that Zukhar was hypnotizing him and interfering with his brain waves. Thanks to the “psychic,” Korchnoi was a nervous wreck by the seventh game.”
