THE IVANCHUK PLANET

GM VASSILY IVANCHUK


The GM Vassily Ivanchuk, is one of the biggest stars in the chess world since the decade of 90, of the twentieth century.
Although it is immensely strong, you never know what he will produce in a given time;
A pieceof art masterly brilliant ?
Or a misyake with a unexpected resignation ?
We never know.
Here, I offer you one of the unforgettable productions of this imaginative Ukrainian GM.
Enjoy !

There are chess players that with his creativity and intuition, can transpor the chess for the most noble status that this ancient game can achieve;
the chess as art.
In this game, the portuguese IM Rui Damaso, shows the power of his chess intuition not intimidate with the apparent defensive wall of his opponent.

The white pieces have their activamnete raised, but how can Damaso open lines to reach the king of the black pieces ?
