Tal Memorial: sole winner, undefeated +3 (2861)> And today's tournament-clinching win over Akopian should put Chucky close to 2755! http://chess.liverating.org/
Not bad for someone who's live rating fell under 2700 <JUST THREE MONTHS AGO!> Go Chucky! |

| smaragdus: Congratulations to Ivanchuk for winning at Jermuk and I hope that he won't lose again the rating points he regained recently. When he is in good form, he belongs to the most elite circle of players nowadays like Anand, Topalov, Kramnik and Aronian, and maybe Carlsen. |

I don't think Ivanchuk can get in another tournament with his ridiculous <2703> rating before the next FIDE rating period. :-) |

| Billy Vaughan: Here are some interesting statistics.
Ivanchuk is:
- the <3rd oldest player> above 2700 (behind Gelfand and Short) - the <11th oldest player> in the top 100 - the <2nd most active player> in the top 100 (42 games to Tiviakov's 45) - in the past two years (actually 23 months), Ivanchuk has played an amazing <268 classically-rated games>. I haven't dug too far into the stats but it seems only TWO players in the top 100 that surpass this total. Fellow Chuk Fedorchuk played 276 (though he wasn't in the top 100 this whole time) and Tiviakov played 277. - but if we look at 2700+ players we see Ivanchuk is <far> more active than anybody. Wang Yue comes closest with 209 games. There are many reasons I love Chucky, but it still amazes me that a player his age plays so much and so well. |

| percyblakeney: An Ivanchuk interview, where he says that he has been offered to become a citizen of Poland and Turkey, but eventually decided to remain a Ukrainian. He looks forward to following the match between the two geniuses Kasparov and Karpov, and means that the differences between the leading GMs are negligible. There is no clear leader, that has demonstrated an advantage over the others. http://sport.siteua.org/%D0%9D%D0%B... http://translate.google.com/transla... |

| Billy Vaughan: How exactly do citizenship offers work? Did those countries' governments just ask him to live there? I wish there were nations clamoring for <my> citizenship :p |

| whatthefat: Looking at Ivanchuk's rating graph, it seems he has started a resonant oscillation and could be world number 1 by December, drop out of the top 100 next July, and be rated over 2900 by the end of 2010. By 2012 he should have surpassed Rybka, shortly before dropping below master level, and then solving chess. http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev...
Exciting times ahead. |

| spy vs spy: I have a hunch that Chucky will defeat Anish Giri today. |

| jia: Amazingly this guy is lowest seeded in the upcoming tal memorial. |
|

|
| Billy Vaughan: I wish him luck in the Tal Memorial. Everybody's talking about Aronian and Carlsen but I think with the relative rest he's had lately Chuky'll be in top condition. |
