Thank you for the link about Ivanchuck and Kostya. Chucky has been a hero of mine ever since 1991. I remember studying his games from Linares in Yasser Seirawan’s “Inside Chess” magazine.
a splendid post about Ivanchuk, thank you so much!
And thank you even more about your inspired view upon chess behind and before the scenes - I read your stunning book and watched a couple of podcast episodes -it so much shows your love and fascination for our game, and is just so very motivating and helpful.
Best regards from the Old World, and all the best (enjoy the trip today!)
Sounds like a well-earned break, Ben, hope the amusement park delivers as many thrills as a time scramble with Ivanchuk! And thanks for the Kostya link, any story involving Vassily and a chess epiphany is an instant read. Looking forward to the double linkfest next week!
