Title: Roller Coaster Chucky - Ivanchuk vs Petrosyan| Sunway Sitges Chess Festival 2018 Rd.8
Opening: Caro-Kann, Fantasy Variation
The 5th Sunway Sitges is a 10-round Swiss open held in Spain from 14-23 December 2018
Hello Chess Friends and Welcome to the channel. After the shocking loss in 26 moves against the young Indian International Master Sreeshwan, Ivanchuk is back on track and with 6 wins and 2 draw he leads the tournament with other 3 players. In today's video I want to show you one of his victories. In round 8 he played against Manuel Petrosyan 20 years old and 2565 from Armenia. Ivanchuk won the game but was just one step close to the edge and near to fall down.
