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.”

Vassily Ivanchuk: “I’m a very ambitious person”

By mishanp on April 27, 2011

Few would identify emotional outbursts as the quality to borrow from Garry Kasparov, but then Vassily Ivanchuk has always stood out from the crowd. In a long and fascinating interview he again displays the self-awareness and deliberate strategy that often lie behind his apparent eccentricities.
