Mar-04-12  Abdooss: In Inside Chess 1998/12, Seirawan wrote ; <As advertised, in Nikolic-Kortchnoi, Viktor was determined to bounce back from the previous day's debacle. Taking too many risks, Viktor committed an error similar to Gulko's against Ivanchuk in the New York Open (Issue 9, page 11). Once he won the exchange, Predrag was merciless. Predrag's technical skills continue to improve.> <from http://www.chesscafe.com/yaz/yaz.htm>
