Back to when I was 8 years old and got my first GM norm I used to like vanilla ice cream a lot.
After my drawn game with that IM I just feel horrible!

I was really surprised when my opponent deviated on move 31 and I had a hard time remembering my preparation.

I was confused after 62. ...a5 in the QGD, but I remembered a 1549 game played in London, so I replied Qb6 and forced a mate in 25.

Of course, I am aware 36.Kf4 is mainline. (Centralizing the king in the endgame.) But I like to confuse my opponent, and get him out of his home preparation!

after 20 hours of thinking, i realized that 1.a4 is not the opening i should use against magnus
Of course I practiced a lot with the computer, and after beating Rybka and Houdini by 10-0 each, i was absolutely sure that noone was gonna stop me winning.

Even among all the other joke remarks, Ivanov's quote stands out as pretty crazy.
