By mishanp on February 5, 2011

Ivanchuk: “People look at some of us as eccentrics”

By mishanp on October 19, 2010

Despite his loss today to Aronian, Vassily Ivanchuk has been in impressive form of late, particularly in his dominant performance on the first board at the Olympiad. He recently gave an interview to the Ukrainian “Podrobnosti”, where he talks about the Olympiad, what chess means for him and who he sees replacing his generation of players.
