TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGER VIKTOR KORCHNOI LOSES...TO A COW?!


In a television commercial that aired in Switzerland, the legendary Viktor Korchnoi (nicknamed "Viktor the Terrible") is defeated by a cow named "Lovely" in a chess match in front of a large audience.
The commerial (43 seconds) begins with Korchnoi looking distraught about his position, but at first we cannnot see his opponent. He contorts his face and shrugs his shoulders before finally knocking over some of his pieces, throwing up his hands, and walking off the stage.
And then we see his opponent, The Cow!
The crowd applauds wildly before the message: "Milk. Pure Magic."
