{Playing a Super-GM is quite an amazing experience. Dmitry Jakovenko is a
renowned expert in the Berlin Defense, and a colorless draw would be rather

{When I was told by the USCF in February, the news that I have been invited to
play on the US team in the WOrld Team Championship in Armenia, I was very
excited about the news and really looking forward to the tournament. That
meant that I'll have a chance to play against several very top players, which
I won't have a chance to play every day. This game in round 8, I'm playing
against Vassily Ivanchuk. I consider Ivanchuk a brilliant mind, border-line
genius. I also knew that he is very unpredicatble in the opening. Therefore I
decided to keep it simple in the opening, and just play what I know best, and
let him create the battle for me. Both Gregory Kaidanov(team coach), and
Giorgi Kacheishvili(my personal coach) thought I should keep it simple in the
beginning and that Ivanchuk will give me chances. They were both right and
I'll use the space here to thank them, as well as captain John Donaldson, all
the rest of the teammates, my family, and all my fans for helping me out
throught the tournament, before the tournament, and in general giving me moral
support.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 O-O 5. Nf3 d6 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O c6

since I've been very nutorious for making lots of blunders in critical moments
in this tournament and in prior tournaments. Match was tied 1-1, pressure was
mounting. I started looking at kd2. At first this move seemed absurd, going
into a same diagonal as the bishop. But as I started calculating, I'm having
more and more faith that the lines are working in my favor. I'm down 30
seconds. I have to make the decision. I'm very thankful that I made the right

minutes and decided to call it a game. No matter what he tries to do, he's
completely lost. This was the happiest moment for me of this tournament, and

play for the US Team and to get a chance to play against a legend like
Ivanchuk and get a chance to play such an interesting battle with him.} (42. h4
