Dr. Wolfgang Eisenbeiss asked a medium, Robert Rollans, to contact a dead chess grandmaster to play a game with a living grandmaster. A living grandmaster agreed, Victor Korchnoi, a former contender for the chess world championship and ranked as high as #3 in the world. A dead grandmaster was contacted and agreed, claiming to be Geza Maroczy who contended for the world championship in 1906, and died in 1951. The game between the living and the dead began in 1985. Maroczy gave Rollins his moves through automatic writing. Moves took around 10 days, and with added delays from Korchnoi's travels, the game took over 7 years to complete. Korchnoi won in 47 moves, and commented that his opponent's play was old-fashioned but he was not sure he would win. Playing a competitive game with a player of Korchnoi's level would be on par with playing a competitive game of tennis with the world's #3 player. It is a physical impossibility for all but a few dozen people on the planet. For this to be a hoax would require one of a few dozen people on earth to be conspiring with the doctor and Rollins. Maroczy also provided details about his life which required a chess historian to research in order to confirm, and also required interviewing Maroczy's two surviving children.
