  offramp: The nomadic GM Vasyl Ivanchuk (kibitz #4179) has been bashing out tournaments like a Thompson Machine Gun.

In April 2025 he came 2nd at the Reykjavik Open (2025), immediately followed by the Semana Santa Open (2025), near Alicante (ESP).

As soon as that one finished, then <this> one started, just a few hours gyrocopter-journey over the Balearic Sea. He is full of <orgone energy>!

  offramp: Where's Vally? He has been playing in Menorca in his striped red and white 2nd hand t-shirt.

Can you guess where he is going now in his kerosene gyrocopter?

<The one and only GM Vasyl Ivanchuk capped off a brilliant comeback by winning the 4th Menorca Open with an unbeaten 8/9 score and an impressive 2833 performance. The 56-year-old secured his first major tournament victory since 2019, and with it, a return to the world's top 100 players.

The big chess festival on the Spanish island of Menorca concluded on Sunday and featured a strong field of 45 grandmasters among the 185 players in the top group. Despite the tough competition, Ivanchuk dominated the event from start to finish. He clinched clear first after a dramatic final-round victory against India's young GM Pranesh M.

With his score of 8/9, Ivanchuk finished half a point ahead of GMs Lu Shanglei and Murali Karthikeyan, while top seeds GM Sam Shankland and GM Nihal Sarin fell short.>

Apr-27-25  ColdSong: Nicely done.Ivanchuk's result is certainly a pleasure for the chess players all over the world.
