Sergei Movsesian is no longer SVK. Now he is ARM.
Short choked again.
A Bishop & Knight mate!! How often does that happen? And Ivanchuk was able to do it flawlessly!
Ivanchuk wins, Short loses again, Gashimov 1st
is an interesting headline. Are we to imply that the writer deems Ivanchuk’s win of the greatest significance, Short’s loss of secondary importance, and Gashimov’s tournament win tertiary to the first two?
“Sergei Movsesian is no longer SVK. Now he is ARM.”
No, Movsesian is DOA.
