Peter Svidler tells a Kasparov/Ivanchuk story while casually sacrificing his queen.

[@lukkamayer9698]

The typical Svidler game. The opening: „This is actually a mistake. I think I‘ve made this mistake before in a tournament.“ The middle game: „My opponent is playing so well. This is such a terrible position“ The end game after Svidler wins: „Well played by my opponent, I didn’t deserve to win by any means.“ … 😂

Peter Svidler is one of my favs. His grasp of positions is instant and his English is better than most Americans!

[@anthonybutt2453]

@Motsy Peter's grasp & nuance of the English language is even better than most of English population.

[@neuronoddi]

I don't get it... isn't is Kasparov whose father died, not Karpov?

What ibanchuck means in russian?

[@nadem7079]

Ivanchuk = son of Ivan. “Ivan” is from Greek “Ioannes” (like English “John”, Spanish “Juan”). -chuk is a typically Ukrainian (or Belarusian) suffix, not Russian.

@@nadem7079 thank you!

[@Maxjah]

Actually the beginning of word ibanchuck in both Russian and Ukrainian sounds very close to "ебать" (ebat') which means to f*ck.

i love svidler but the constant switch between story and chess talk is triggering for me. I wouldnt know how to do it better tbh, but still.
