Who would win, Vassily Ivanchuk or Jose Raul Capablanca?

i think they think a bit similar, chucky plays alot more sharp. its inconclusive to me. 

At their prime over several games . I say ivvan loosesthe series by a game

I ordinarily dont get nto these types of debates but...

I would have to take Capa's steady, sensible play over Chucky's wildness.

If it's about dancing a tango with a lady...

But you need swag to dance La cumparsita.

Ivanchablanca, obviously.

Sorry to revive such an old topic, I just wanted to say that: Capablanca would win easily, because Ivanchuk has no psychological capacity to endure a Match of more than 5 matches without starting to get fickle

If we are using their current ages in this game Capablanca would be 132! So I would imagine he's a bit more gaga than ivanchuk lmfao

Pretty funny. Good evening.

Capablanca no doubt

I think one could call this Morphy's law instead of Murphy's:

"In all the numerous discussions concerning if A played better than B, the majority answer is always that the older player played better and that the chess level decreases the more professional the players become".

Thus Capa who peaked 100 years ago is usually considered to have played much better than Ivanchuk, who could win Linares after beating Kasparov, Karpov and Anand in the 1990s, or who beat top two Carlsen and Kramnik in the Candidates in the 2010s.

If a player studied chess very little, played a tournament once in a while, started late and had no coaching, and spent little time on the game, he is usually considered to have been playing better than the most talented players a century later that studied much, played continually since childhood, had top player coaching and spent a dozen hours a day on improving.

chucky, and if he is in peak form, its not close.
