He is the reason I took up playing Caro-Kann again, and the primary inspiration for my feeling that it's much more fun to play as Black -- a feeling that got me back into chess after years away.

  Can you explain that? Caro-Kann is 1. p4 c6. I can't quite work out how to munge that to p4wnc6.

Except for the fact that it is well known that he was a French Defense hero and not really much of a Caro-Kann player.

  Korchnoi played the Caro-Kann often enough in his career to be worthy of inspiration, including at least one WC match I can think of. He even has a main line variation named after him: 5...exf6

  Yeah that's more Karpov's thing.

He inspired me too after studying some of his games and reading about him and his philosophy to the game, playing as Black did become more fun as well.
