That's the title New in Chess bestowed upon Ukraine's #1 player, Vassily Ivanchuk. I have absolutely no idea what's going on in the following game: enjoy!
Coffeehouse tactics question: why didn't Ivanchuk take the "free" queen offered by Baadur Jobava (who's having an amazing tournament despite this loss) with 31...Qc1? What's wrong with 32.Nxc1??
32. Nxc1?? falls to 32...Nxf3+, 33.Kf1 Re1++
ReplyDeleteThere's a bishop on a6, so 32.Nxc1?? Nf3 is mate
