2009 is not Ivanchuk’s year.
Kamsky needs to just give it up…im so disappointed in his play it’s unreal…lost focus and he forgot the basics of high level chess, its obivious hes lost it, just go back to studying law. what a disgrace
@Anonymous 4:51PM: maybe rather January (Corus) and April (GP Nalchik) are not his months – or is there anything wrong with his shared first place in Linares in February 2009?
