Vassily Ivanchuk (2): “Flawed games are the most beautiful”

By mishanp on April 29, 2011

Here, as promised, is the concluding part of the recent long interview with Ivanchuk. As well as talking about women players, his favourite games, and when he might quit the game, his wife Oksana also joins the conversation. Few would disagree with her view that “Vassily’s easy to love.”
