| | Vassily Ivanchuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ivanchuk first got fame in the chess world when he won the Linares tournament of 1991 at the age of 21. | | | "Big Chucky", as Ivanchuk is called, has been described by Viswanathan Anand as the most eccentric player in the chess world. | | | Ivanchuk has an ELO rating of 2752 on the FIDE July 2005 ratings list, making him number five in the world and Ukraine's top player. |

| | Ponomarev, Ivanchuk Play to Game 4 Draw |
| | Ivanchuk varied from that game on move six and the position soon resembled something from the Advance Variation of the Caro-Kann Defense. | | | Ivanchuk allowed the g-file to be opened and tried to hide his king on h1 while keeping the rest of the position blocked. | | | But Ivanchuk's bad bishop meant that he had no serious winning chances, and the players drew by repeating the position on move 50. |

| | Vassily Ivanchuk came out fighting, and in a very interesting and exciting game the experienced GM applied tremendous pressure on his young opponent. | | | The ruse worked, Ivanchuk faltered in his defence against the opponent's audacious play and the game ended in a draw. | | | But it turned out that this was very deep match strategy by Ponomariov, who put Ivanchuk in the spot of trying to win a dangerous endgame, or going for a draw and practically resigning the match. |

| | Ivanchuk seems more interested in not losing than winning in this event, and Kasparov was probably happy with a quick handshake and a short day at the office. | | | I was surprised to see Ivanchuk employing the somewhat anti-positional Leningrad variation against Topalov's Nimzo Indian, and I can't say the Ukrainian did anything in this game to inspire potential white players. | | | The BGN-champ was the first one to go wrong with 23...Nh5?, but he miraculously got back into the game when Ivanchuk missed what must have been a winning continuation three moves later. |

| | The chess games of Vassily Ivanchuk |
| | Ivanchuk does have a habit of giving up early in games where he has a bad but not necessarily losing position. | | | I share your admiration of Ivanchuk and his opening choice under pressure, and hope that he will be the one who wins the tournament in Libya (even though that would still not ease the pain of its taking place in Israeli-excluding Libya in the first place). | | | I think it (his failure to play in more top tournaments) might be the failure of event organizers to invite him rather than a conscious decision on his part not to play in the big tournaments. |
