| blingice: <EricCartman: I think, GM's who're drawing more then 60% of their games, should be banned for life, exept when these games are drawn on the 60th move or something.> What validity can this statement possibly contain? "Why did you ban that GM from playing chess?" "Oh, he was playing chess in a way that <EricCartman> doesn't like." Apparently playing 2400+ games doesn't earn you a picture on this website though. |

| OhioChessFan: <Ivkov must be a strong candidate for the "least kibitzed player page per games in the database"-award.> <PercyBlakeney> Every now and then I check out the statistics page. I just did so and saw over 2400 games for Ivkov so I decided to check him out. And I found a handful of kibitzes. That just goes to show you something or another. |

| diagonal: Congratulations! 55 yers after being (the first) World Junior Champion in 1951, Borislav Ivkov is now European Senior Champion 2006. He won the 6th Individual European Senior Championship solely with 8/9 points (only one loss against favourite Korchnoi, who lost twice) and one full point (!) or more ahead of the rest (Zseitlin, Jansa, Khanukov, Korchnoi, Cebalo, Chernikov, Uhlmann, Hecht, etc.; 121 participants, swiss system). |

| Open Defence: too bad Bidmonfa didn't have a younger photo of Ivkov.. "Ivkov is an extremely handsome and imposing gentleman and the adulation of his fans and that of the ladies may have contributed to his loss of form." - The Batsford Chess Encylopaedia by Nathan Divinsky In Bidmona's pic he looks a bit like Alan Alda... |

| Maatalkko: <Open Defence> Interesting. That helps to explain Ivkov's long career of relative mediocrity. |
|
| Dec-14-06 |
| Maatalkko: I should stress the word relative. In the mid-50's Ivkov looked like a WC contender. |

| PhilFeeley: It's interesting to see they've dragged GM Ivkov out of retirement (?) to play in the Canadian Open this year (http://cocycc.pbwiki.com/CORegister...). This promises to be a better tournament than the World Open! |

| timhortons: thanks daniel freeman.
i take these picture in a very awkward angle, the game has already started when i approach grandmaster ivkov that ill take his pic, he said yes and stare down on the board, i take a shot in a hurry and left. i hope he can play again in canadian open 2009, ill take a better shot of him then. |

| brankat: <timhortons> Thank You for the photo. Don't worry, it' is a very nice picture indeed! I met Bora a number of times in the 1960s and 1970s. He has always been not only a fine GM, but also a true gentleman. |

| timhortons: happy birthday grandmaster ivkov, at least i can claim id seen in person one of the great in chess during fischers era, i just used to read about you before in profile of the prodigy. i hope to see you again at 2009 canadian open.
there must be somebody here in montreal who is very influential to grandmaster ivkov, the reason why once a year he goes out of retirement and play in canadian open.He played in 2007-2008 canadian open. |

| Dredge Rivers: I know he is from the former Yugoslavia, but is he an ethnic Bulgarian? His name sounds alot more Bulgarian than Serbian or Croatian. |
|
| Apr-18-09 |
| Andrijadj: He is not Bulgarian,surnames finishing with OV are common in Serbia,especially in Vojvodina... |
