Sep-27-04   Isolani: I wonder if he is related to tennis star Goran Ivanisevic somehow, a longshot I know.
Sep-27-04   offramp: "John - son of John". Dad stuck for a name, aye?
Oct-09-04   aw1988: Yay, more Ljubomir!

Aug-13-07   Goran: Ivan just won strong Kavala Open reports.chessdom.com/kavala-2007

He's not related to tennis player.

Aug-19-07   Goran: Interview - http://interviews.chessdom.com/ivan...
Nov-06-07   Goran: And he beat Magnus Carlsen in the last round of ETCC 2007 :)
Jan-23-08   jovack: Goran Ivanisevic is Croatian.
Ivan is Serbian.
you're right <isolani>, it is a long shot, and you were way off.

  norami: Is it true that the only difference between Serbian and Croatian is religion? If you're Catholic, you're Croatian. If you're Orthodox, you're Serbian.

Not quite, but it is hard to distinguish by name. I am a Croat, and someone with name Ivan ivanišević could easily be Croatian.Serbs have their own culture and history which is differnt from croatian. but it is worth saying that two nations felt ( and some individuals still feel) a strong sentiment of brotherhood and unity which (un)fortunatly didnt end in the creation of new (yugoslav) nation. so unlike protestant prussians and catholic bavarians that united into germany, catholic croats and ortodox serbs live in two separate states. Why? dont ask. maybe is better that way.

Oct-22-08   Resignation Trap: <norami> and <KOCMOHAYT> There are other differences. Serbians and Croats speak basically the same language, but Serbians prefer to use the cyrillic alphabet (which is similar to Russian), while Croats use a roman alphabet (much like English).
Oct-23-08   KOCMOHAYT: <Resignation Trap> I know, as i said i'm croatian. lands that comprise serbia today were for centuries (mostly) part of ottoman empire (Turkey), whereas croatia was part of Habsburg empire (Austria). Hence the majority of difference. Before being part of larger foreign dominated empires, both countries had their respective medieval kingdoms. Serbia at one point was a major european power. The countries and peoples where friendly for centuries with croatian king Tomislav helping serbian against bulgarians, other masters against turks, and many serbs and croats being proud of being at the same time of serbian and croatian heritage (Ivo Andrić, Nikola Tesla, Branko Katić, Brankat :-)). However things generaly worsend when the two tried to become one. And failed...

It is an honour and privilege to be mentioned in the same sentence with Nikola Tesla :-)

Seriously, I do thank You for Your well balanced and fairly expressed thoughts.

Unfortunately, back in the old country everybody lost. Which was easily predictable. I think it was Sir Winston Churchill who remarked something like: "Those involved in the quarrels of their Past, will have found out that they have lost their Future."

Perhaps some other time things will work out better.

P.S. Visit my forum sometime.

Nov-05-08   jovack: <norami: Is it true that the only difference between Serbian and Croatian is religion? If you're Catholic, you're Croatian. If you're Orthodox, you're Serbian.>

lol, quite oversimplified

i would say it is akin to the difference of being canadian vs american

similar, yet distinct -- minus the extreme animosity that still prevails with some people (unfortunately)

funny how anything balkan related always gets people talking about serbian v croatian haha

  Appaz: After a fighting draw in the last round, Ivanisevic finished with 11.5 of 13, a +10 score!

Even if he was the highest rated player at 2649, he still had to face 5 players at 2550+ and and six more at 2450+.

Apr-16-09   hand banana: what a great performance by ivanisevic..

30 rating points up after this one, back to 2650+.
and a very, very respectable 2844 rating performance.

Apr-17-09   Raisin Death Ray: I had a mailman named Ivan once. Is this him?
