Vassily IVANCHUK: “I going to quit chess"

Wasnt an excuse. He was just very upset. Thats his personality. He could have won or he had won games in certain circumstances. Your certainly quite harsh.

C'est la vie

wtf is you peoples problems..

he has no unibrow.., you guys need to get your eyes checked.. seriosuly..

And Regicide.. "I could'av won"

If you actually look at the game, he COULDAV WON, he had a winning position (pretty clear) and he blundered away his winning position, but the point is.. he couldav won, and all GM's say that, so dont go crying that Ivanchuk said it.. Carlsen said it, Kasparov said it, pretty much every1 said they could win.

Do you think Ivanchuk has put on some weight ?

Perspectives do change.

 Your immaturity level is a bit high there bud.

It can fit the character.. but its nothing bad.. its normal eyebrows and he doesnt have a unibrow..

 You just raised your immaturity level again.., you can stop talking.. seriously, your just another kid with no life.

   2009

Abit of a different there.  

i dont have the dates but the first two are more recent and he appears to take better care of them now...but really it sad that one of the greatest chess pros of this generation is thinking about retiring and were hung up on his eyebrows

what a crybaby!!!

How bout Kamsky? Go America :)

 Rofl im not the one running around the forums making fun of pictures.. its obvious that you get bullied in school and you need to take it out on other things

 haha, Kamsky is out of the world cup, this dude sucks, hes so overrated, Nakamura is way better.

Ivanachuck should come to America. Take off 6 months for soul searching and and play for us. Even at his worst he is amoung the best.

SerbianChessStar, what's your problem? You seem to be on a crusade against anyone who dares post something lighthearted once in a while... 

I said he doesnt have a unibrow and the immature kid kept saying stuff about it.. its pretty annoying.

SerbianChessStar you obviously have a very short temper. Leave the kid alone.

I was keeping it calm until he said i had no life..

Not everyone plays as long as Korchnoi and Karpov. Quitting in the prime of life is normal and expected for most sports competitors--quitting while still young enough to move on to great success in another endeavor.
