Vasyl Ivanchuk is 98% accurate and funny

Featured is the game between Vasyl Ivanchuk and Veselin Topalov from the 1996 Novgorod Tournament. When two dynamic players meet, the game is almost sure to be exciting. The opening is a Sicilian Defense: Scheveningen Variation, Classical Variation. The focal point in the game is the weakest square in black’s camp, f7. This game is a nice reminder of how this weak square can still be weak after the opening phase, and after castling. Outside of the beautiful and accurate attack by Ivanchuk is a dash of humor with his 27th move.
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
