GM Vassily Ivanchuk Leads the Pack!


So far so good for "Big Chucky"

The players say he lives on 'Planet Ivanchuk', One never knows which mood he is going to be in! Some days he will treat you like his long-lost brother. The next day he ignores you completely. I the webmaster personally like his style of chess very much.

I want to include here what I saw in the Ivanchuk vs Bu Xiangzhi's game playing right this minute and I wonder if it went through Ivanchucks thinking, because it could have had tremendous possibilities for winning the game! Let me know what you think! Ok 12.Qc5+ Qd6 13.d4!!


Peak rating 2787 (October 2007) Ivanchuk has been known to one day be the next world Champion, right now he is number 10 in the world! As of November 2007 he was the World Blitz Chess champion.
