Ahhh! *Burp!*
Your first part of the title is still valid after round 5… 🙂
What a game by Iwantschuk!
Ivanchuk is now virtual world number 3 with over 2775!
Bear in mind that he had more blacks when you consider that he has 5/5. So he should do better in the second half?!
Well, you can’t really be better then 5/5…
