| waustad: If anybody plays enough games to catch Korchnoi in the data base, my bet is that it will be ivanchuk. He is as obsessed as he is hilarious. I always hope he will be in a tournament I plan to follow when the roster comes out. |

| shintaro go: <waustad> Ivanchuk is quite a character. His presence in top level chess a gift to all. |
|

| returnoftheking: <waustad> are you suggesting we should take away Chucky's money when he turns 40?:) |
|
| Dec-02-09 |
| Pawnage: Somebody capture Ivanchuk and force him to write a memorable games book! And get him a good publisher. If we don't kidnap him, he might play till he dies, or I do. |
|

|
| waustad: <ROK>Absolutely not! I would love to see him continue to be a force in chess for the next 20-40 years though! |

 |
| HeMateMe: there is an out of print book by Chuck, "Chess Emprerors", not sure if he is writing about his life or the life of other chess players. Anyone seen this book or read it? |

| kurtrichards: <...but am not in any circumstances planning to give up chess! - Vassily Ivanchuk> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
Ivanchuk is not quitting chess after all. :) |

| furrer: Sooo, where is Ivanchuk playing next? :D |
|
| Dec-17-09 |
| szachista: Next weekend in Warsaw - European Rapid Championship. And then in Wijk aan Zee I believe. |

| nikolajewitsch: Don't know where else to post this, but obviously Ukraine and all its players have disappeared from all FIDE databases: http://ratings.fide.com/topfed.phtm... Is this simply a technical problem or is there some conflict between FIDE and the Ukrainian organization involved? |
|

 |
| paulalbert: Ukrainian players show up in top lists and individual data in player by player information, but no actual rating. I assume it's a technical problem. |

| Eyal: According to someone in chessninja (who saw it on e3e5.com) they've been disconnected from the ratings due to non-payment of fees... (http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt...) |

 |
| Fusilli: <they've been disconnected from the ratings due to non-payment of fees...> The same thing happened with Argentina and Argentine players in the past. If memory serves, more than once. |

| timhortons: chucky is silently trailing behind shirov:) |

| Billy Vaughan: Chucky is joint second with +2. Go Chucky! |

| timhortons: haha! chucky put a stop to kramniks winning!
right place @ the right time chuck! |

| humangraymatter: I wanna see Chucky as World Champion.I don't believe that "weak nerves" story.Come on Vassily you can do it! |
|
| Feb-05-10 |
| ycbaywtb: i see Ivanchuk similar to Anand, if you hang around near the top long enough, you may get it Why not Ivanchuk the Champ? it'd be neat. |
|
| Feb-05-10 |
| M.D. Wilson: I think Chucky can still become World Champion, but he better hurry up. Aronian and Carlsen and co are challenging. I still think Kramnik can win back the title with his talent and present form. Will Anand be able to hold off Topalov? The next few years will be interesting. |
|
| Feb-06-10 |
| ycbaywtb: personally, i want Anand to beat Topalov, but i'd love to see Ivanchuk beat Anand in a match/ has Ivanchuk played any matches with anyone ever? |
|
| Feb-06-10 |
| humangraymatter: <ycbaywtb:> He had lost to Ponomariov nine years ago.I don't recall any other match.
This grand prix system makes the things complicated.FIDE website writes that a player must finish the grand prix cycle at first or second place to qualify for the next canditates tournament.But how will the remaining canditates be selected ,does anyone know? |

 |
| acirce: Here is <amadeus>' collection of Ivanchuk's matches (check out his game collections in general, great resource) Game Collection: Match Ivanchuk! Most of them are short matches from KO's, which hardly even count as matches in my view. But there are a couple of matches from the 1991-1993 WCh cycle, and a couple of exhibition matches from that time, including one against Anand, who had also been knocked out of the cycle. |
|

| ConLaMismaMano: Does anyone know how GM Leon Hoyos from Mexico became Ivanchuk's second? I mean, it's pretty unusual to take as a second someone born in 1989 with very little experience. He's young, hasn't faced serious strong opposition and to my knowledge he's never been a second before. |

| Petrosianic: <Does anyone know how GM Leon Hoyos from Mexico became Ivanchuk's second? I mean, it's pretty unusual to take as a second someone born in 1989 with very little experience.> He may have no positives, but he's got negatives, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. (nudge, nudge). |
