Feb-23-08		suenteus po 147: It's been a long time since Anand has had a decisive game with white against Ivanchuk in classical time controls. Maybe this will change today?

Feb-23-08		Wild Bill: An interesting note is that Anand, the tournament leader, has yet to win a game with White this week. Perhaps that will change today?

Feb-23-08		ahmadov: Go Anand!!!

Feb-23-08		whiteshark: Games between both players (since 1987!) in this database : http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... <Viswanathan Anand beat Vassily Ivanchuk 24 to 13, with 62 draws> If I'm not mistaken this is Anand's last classical white victory against Ivanchuk: Anand vs Ivanchuk, 1997

Feb-23-08		ruelas007: Anand also beat Chucky in Corus 2006 Ivanchuk vs Anand, 2006

Feb-23-08		whiteshark: <ruelas007>: Do you mean they have agreed to rotate the board today ? :D

Feb-23-08		Gameoverziggy: Go Chucky!!

Feb-23-08		JointheArmy: Chucky via whatever he wants.

Feb-23-08		Knight13: Me is in favor of Ivanchuk.

Feb-23-08		ajile: I want Chucky to do his thang!!

Feb-23-08		ewart cooper: what is chuky going to doto anand nothen

Feb-23-08		Wild Bill: Mr. cooper. I have a proposition for you. Would you rather be Darth Vader?

Feb-23-08		cludi: Hopefully we are not to see a repetition of Anand vs Ivanchuk, 2008

Feb-23-08		just a kid: Here we go!

Feb-23-08		Knight13: 1. e4 Bring it on...!

Feb-23-08		ketchuplover: Good afternoon guys and ghouls :)

Feb-23-08		just a kid: Hey <ketchuplover>!

Feb-23-08		just a kid: I guess Ivanchuk didn't expect 1.e4!!!!!!

Feb-23-08		Ulhumbrus: <cludi: Hopefully we are not to see a repetition of Anand vs Ivanchuk, 2008> It could be that the draw was the result of an attempt to win which did not succeed. In other words, the defence succeeded.

Feb-23-08		Wild Bill: A move!! <1.e4>

Feb-23-08		Resignation Trap: <justakid> I thought you said that you were going to be at a tournament today. Did you change your mind to watch "the big game"?

Feb-23-08		just a kid: Usually I play my first move immediatly.

Feb-23-08		just a kid: <Resignation Trap>No my dad is sick =(

Feb-23-08		Knight13: <1. e4> Ivanchuk: "Oh crap I didn't see that coming... Shoot I don't know what to do!"

Feb-23-08		ketchuplover: Is Ivanchuk there? Maybe he caught an early flight out.
