I did not say that. However:

You don't know and never will know why Korchnoi
stayed in the West.

You also don't know and will never know, whether
his family was happy to see him go, nor whether
he was glad to be rid of them.

It is generally known that he got involved with
Petra Leeuwerik very soon after his defection,
and that he divorced his wife shortly after she moved
to the West in 1982.

It is also well known That Korchnoi is a difficult
character - impolite, unsophisticated, paranoid,
definitely not somebody easily made into a hero.

Korchnoi was an excellent chess player in his
day - second only to Karpov.
The rest is none of our business.
