Susan call my lil sista and tell her Ultramodernist says, USE THE TRICKY KNIGHT!!! Ivanchuck is the funniest of them all , The gods is comin to get me! hehe.
“Ivanchuk faces Judit”, hehe. I’m sure he can handle it! It’s a shame Ivanchuk has never been consistent, he really is a great player. He can play any type of opening and is good in all areas. It should be a good game, both players can play exciting chess. I’d like to see the old Judit, playing the Sicilian or Kings Indian!
