  keypusher: Looks like a contender for ughaibu's fun with chucky collection. Although this can't have been much fun for Jobava.
May-23-05  ughaibu: Thanks. I'll add it.
May-23-05  acirce: chessbase.com has 15 games with the position after 8.Nc3. The results from White's side, and that is not including this game:

+14 =1 -0

LOL. But you really don't need the stats to wonder what Jobava was thinking in the opening. It seems essentially lost after 13.g4 already.

Jun-01-05  notyetagm: The amazing thing about this game is that it contains so little tactics. Black (Jobava) is just so totally outplayed positionally that tactics really aren't called for. Amazing to see a 2637-rated GM lose so easily.

The Tromp is just not Jobava's thing. A few days later, in the same tournament, he lost to Bruzon in 19 moves. So that is <2 Trompowskys, 2 losses, a combined 44 moves for Jobava>. Impossible to imagine Jobava doing so poorly in his other Black defenses.

Jun-03-05  sourcerer: stupidity on board i should say
Jun-03-05  ranchogrande: when <Ivanchuk> plays his best it often goes like this"you can run , but you cannot hide" .:) <notyetagm> as fra as I see its White who play The Tromp !?
Jun-03-05  Shams: only two games from the 16 acirce mentions got as far as 9...Nc6. This game, and Speelman - Wang Yaoyao 1997, which is a great attacking game. I just uploaded to the db, but here is the pgn if you're interested.

Apr-14-11  paavoh: @notyetagm <"Black (Jobava) is just so totally outplayed positionally that tactics really aren't called for."> Yes, a true display on profound understanding of chess, not just the opening.
Aug-28-15  CountryGirl: It's interesting how good a record Ivanchuk has against players who, like him, are known for great originality - he has a healthy plus against such players as Jobava, Morozevich, and Shirov... Suggests that to beat Vassily you won't do it through greater creativity, since he rules in that area.
