Billy Vaughan Member since Dec-18-07 · Last seen Nov-29-09 I live near Chicago, Illinois, and I play chess occasionally. I'm pretty bad at it, largely because I don't play often.

A: Ivanchuk tried to attack very sharply as White, but to be honest, I did not find a clear win for him. Evidently, neither did Vasya, since he began to use a lot of time and eventually fell into time-trouble.      Nov-17-09 YouRang chessforum    Billy Vaughan: Sounds like what a ninja sensei would say: "you're overconfident in your abilities, young one. Train harder!"      Nov-17-09 Morozevich vs Kosteniuk, 2009    Billy Vaughan: Gorgeous finish!
