Go Fabiano! You can win the next 7 games! No problem!
Go Moro!
Here is a small gesture to win!
Just a comment on Ivanchuk: Isn’t he the most versatile and creative in the openings of any player in history? His English opening in particular is amazing. He has had so many new ideas in the English.
Yeah, that was quite interesting how he handled the opening. Play it myself pretty similar but do not manage to get such decent positions later on. Guess he might be better than me after all… 😉
