Think Like Ivanchuk is a celebration of a true chess genius. This book is a collection of Vasyl Ivanchuk’s best games, a biography and a highly entertaining training manual all in one. It is also one of the most striking examples of the power of imagination.
Vasyl Ivanchuk, a super-grandmaster from Ukraine, was born in 1969 and was the best player in the world in the 1990s, behind World Champion Garry Kasparov. He has won the Olympiad, the super-tournaments in Linares and Wijk aan Zee, and many, many other events. He is an incredibly versatile player and has played almost every possible variation known to chess in the opening and middlegame.
Viktor Moskalenko has known his compatriot since childhood, has been his second and sparring partner, and understands his style like no other. Moskalenko has selected Ivanchuk’s most fascinating games against world champions and top grandmasters and has derived more than 500 training positions from them. The exercises are fun, engaging, and simple enough for any chess player to understand.
