Straclonoor: Amazing game! Despite on triuph in tournament (+7,-1,=3!!) Vassily Ivanchuk could won one more fantastic game. click for larger viewPosition after <16.Nd7> looks crazy! Black had chance to continue in crazy style - 16....Ne3!! In tournament bulletin this option was mentioned with refutation - 17.Qe5. Stockfish gives that this idea wrong: 16...Ne3. 17.Qe5
