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>! Apr-27-25    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? Apr-27-25    amadeus: https://www.chess.com/news/view/iva... <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.
