One of the most experienced GM in this event, and one of the highest ranked, met with a youthful GM from the Philippines – Wesley So, who turned sixteen just a few weeks ago.
Ivanchuk,V (2739) - So,W (2640) [C15]
World Cup Khanty-Mansiysk RUS (2.1), 24.11.2009
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.exd5 exd5 5.Bd3 Nf6 6.Nge2 0-0 7.0-0 Bg4 8.f3 Bh5 9.Nf4 Bg6 10.Nxg6 hxg6 11.Bg5 c6 12.f4 Qb6
13.Na4!? Qxd4+ 14.Kh1 Ne4 15.c3 Nf2+ 16.Rxf2 Qxf2 17.cxb4 f6 18.Qg4 fxg5 19.Qe6+ Kh8 20.Nc5 Qxb2 21.Qh3+ Kg8 22.Qe6+ Kh8 23.Rf1 Qf6 24.Qh3+ Kg8
Most of the continuation after the first diagram was pretty much forced. Now White, who is an exchange and pawn down for the attack, has 25.Ne4 dxe4 26.Bc4+ Rf7 27.Qc8+ Kh7 28.Qh3+ with perpetual. But Ivanchuk wants more and tries something daring: 25.g3?! Re8 26.Nxb7 gxf4 27.Rxf4 Re1+ 28.Kg2 Qe6 29.Qxe6+ Rxe6 30.Nc5 Re7 31.b5 Nd7 32.Nxd7 Rxd7 33.bxc6 Rd6 34.Bb5 Re8 35.Rd4. White remains an exchange down and young Wesley So goes on to take the full point. 35...Kf7 36.Rf4+ Ke6 37.Rg4 Ke5 38.Kf3 Rf6+ 39.Ke3 0-1. Ivanchuk has his work cut out for him on Wednesday's second encounter.
