Blueberry Yogurt Chess Code

World Chess Championship 1978 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 1978 World Chess Championship was played between Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi in Baguio, Philippines from July 18 to October 18, 1978. Karpov won, thereby retaining the title. The match had many bizarre incidents. Karpov's team included noted Soviet psychologist and hypnotherapist Vladimir Petrovich Zukhar (Владимир Петрович Зухарь), while Korchnoi enlisted the help of two American Ananda Marga yoga specialists who had recently been convicted of attempted murder and released on bail. There was more controversy off the board, with historians ranging from X-raying of chairs, protests about the flags used on the board and Korchnoi's complaints that Zukhar, sitting in the front row, attempted to hypnotise him. When Karpov's team sent him a blueberry yogurt during a game without any request for one by Karpov, the Korchnoi team protested, claiming it could be some kind of code.

The article lists increasingly bizarre controversies, ending with Korchnoi’s team protesting a blueberry yogurt sent to Karpov because it might be a secret code. The meme is used as a reaction to absurd escalation or an unexpectedly suspicious explanation for something harmless.
