He's having one of his best efforts in a long time. Apr-14-06    notyetagm: <Ivan23: Last round pairings on top boards:> I thought this tournament was 13 rounds? This is only rounds 11. Apr-15-06    Ivan23: <notyetagm> Only 11 rounds will be played. Last round today, tie-breakers in Sunday and closing ceremony and departures in Monday (hence Apr 4 - Apr 17). Apr-15-06    Ivan23: Kozul-Izoria drawn after 5 minutes and 10 moves played. Ivanchuk needs a win with Black in an Exchange Slav against Belov to share 1st place with Kozul. Apr-15-06    whatthefat: Well, I decided to give Georgiev one last chance to win me back my chessbucks. Unfortunately, I overlooked the fact that HE'S SOFT AS ANYTHING AND CAN ONLY LAST 9 MOVES AS WHITE!! Ahem... excuse me.. getting all worked up here... Serenity now. Apr-15-06    keypusher: Belov appears to have no objection to a draw, but Ivanchuk seems to be trying to win. http://www.tsf.org.tr/LIVE/web4/ <whatthefat> LOL. Glancing over Georgiev's games so far, I am sure he was very tired. Apr-15-06    whatthefat: <keypusher> Yeah, I know, it's actually a pretty impressive result for him. Just a shame he had to cost me about a grand of imaginary money along the way. Apr-15-06    Ivan23: Belov-Ivanchuk draw. It's official now, Kozul is the new champ. Apr-15-06    notyetagm: ICC claims Ivanchuk won to go to 8.5 and tie Kozul. Apr-15-06    Ivan23: Official site says draw after 30 moves. Apr-15-06    Gregor Samsa Mendel: The Belov-Ivanchuk position on the official site sure looks like a draw to me. This is the first time I've followed the progress of a tournament like this via the internet. I guess short draws are very common in the penultimate round of a tournament. One game in the Women's section lasted all of five moves. Apr-15-06    TheUnkraut: (Whatthefat) you really missunderstand georgiev: he might have played only 9 moves-but im sure he was giving his very best till the titanic fight was over Apr-15-06    BIDMONFA: 7th European Individual Championship (2006) EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP Champion - ZDENKO KOZUL http://www.bidmonfa.com/kozul_zdenk... Sub-Champion - VASSILY IVANCHUK http://www.bidmonfa.com/ivanchuk_va... History Championship http://www.bidmonfa.com/campionats_... _ Apr-15-06    Ezzy: Congratulations to Grandmaster Kozul the new European champion! What an improvement on last year when he scored 5.5/13 and lost 24 rating points in that one tournament. Apr-16-06    WarmasterKron: According to ChessBase, Kozul's performance rating for the tournament was an impressive 2791. Apr-16-06    stanleys: Another big success for a Croatian player - about a month ago GM Zelcic became European blitz champion and GM Palac took the third place. Congratulations! Apr-17-06    Petrosian63: Will Ivanchuk gain any ELO points from the European Individual Championships? Apr-17-06    AlexandraThess: What a sad championship the legendary Ulf Andersson had hard moments Apr-18-06    Maroczy: Where is that elusive last round? Apr-18-06    Maroczy: Thanks. Apr-19-06    turkishgrandmaster: Sinan Tezok is my friend but he is an amuetor.
