The third and final installment of the PCA "Super Classic" chess tournament series was played in Horgen, Switzerland from October 21 to November 2, 1995. The "Credit Suisse Masters", as it was called, was a round robin, Category XVII tournament organized directly after the PCA World Championship. Garry Kasparov had defeated Viswanathan Anand, then joined ten other top rated grandmasters for the final event in the year's series. The complete list of participants included (in order of Elo): Kasparov (2795), Vassily Ivanchuk (2740), Vladimir Kramnik (2730), Artur Yusupov (2680), Nigel Short (2645), Rafael Vaganian (2645), Viktor Korchnoi (2635), Joel Lautier (2635), Jaan Ehlvest (2630), Boris Gulko (2620) and Jan Timman (2590). Nine of the original top ten PCA rated grandmasters who started the series finished it. Anand dropped out of Novgorod and was replaced by Veselin Topalov. Here, Topalov was replaced by Lautier. Korchnoi was added to the competition as a local grandmaster to represent Switzerland. In the surprise of the year, world champion Kasparov finished with an even score, having dropped one game, to tournament co-winner Ivanchuk, as he and Kramnik finished with 7/10, capitalizing on the speculation that both players were strong enough to soon become world champions themselves. Although Kramnik would eventually succeed in this respect, the title continued to elude Ivanchuk. The final standings and crosstable follow

Chunky and Kasparov in Linares 1991 is my favorite game of all time. Kasparov was in his prime and Chucky made him look like a chump. Gave up his bishop pair and at the end of the game all of Kasparov pieces were on the back rank and corner. Kasparov didn’t fear many people but Ivanchuk was definitely one person he did.

The way black's position sorts out between 5:30 and 6:50. Wow. All of a sudden there's a pair of knights leading a charge, a nice pawn chain flank, stylish pair of bishops guarding everything, plus queen power support in the far corner. Equal material, tons of space, white king safe, but utterly helpless to control his fate. Ouch.
This is the game that made me choose Ivanchuk as my favorite chess player of all time.
When Ivanchuk said “hardest move to find is with the night back”, he actually meant the bishop
Chucky! I love his interviews. More Ivanchuk games if you have time please.
A beautiful game full of inspiration by Ivanchuk, the unsteady genius! Thank you very much for analysing and uploading!
From watching numerous matches by Vassily, I can infer that his playing style is his insane greed for space. I wonder if he has claustrophobia.

There are few things as satisfying as having a position with completely equal material but an undeniable winning advantage. Just slowly dismantling the opponent's position to the point where any move he can possibly play leads to your win.
Chess players are a bit temperamental----5% temper and 95% mental.
This b6-Bf8 strategy in the Winawer was actually a favourite of Tigran Petrosian. It gives black a position that, as passive as it looks, is pretty hard to break through. Black is required to find some pretty weird moves, but it holds
Great play!!! 👍
What a player Ivanchuk so unorthodox and unpredictable.

The passed C pawn was likely going to either promote or gain a piece advantage is probably why from what I can see on the board Kasparov's pieces were all poorly positioned and there wasn't really a way to stop promotion after bishop to g5 to neutralize Kasparov's dark square bishop.

All of kasparov's pieces are boxed in. The rook and bishops don't have any good squares to go to, since chuckys pieces are dominating the board. Chucky has a passed pawn with 3 pieces surrounding it. Simple win for someone like chucky.

@bradc3402

Yeah, I have seen games of Petrosian's as well with that move. It looks strange, but when you are in a closed position like that, early piece development is not critical at all. You have plenty of time to maneuver around. In an open position, it would obviously be suicide. Ivanchuk really showed his greatness with this positional understanding.
@coosoorlog

in the french, black typically tries to expand on the queenside and crash through there, while white has dynamic counterplay on the kingside. returning the bishop on f8 does at least two things that I can think of off the top of my head: protect the kingside and cancel the exchange on c3 (which strengthens white's center)

5...Bf8 is one of the absolute main lines of the b6 Winawer and was played by both Korchnoi and Petrosian back in 1957, with Korchnoi scoring a win. Portisch and Vaganian also used it fairly extensively with both having database games dated before this one. In recent times, the best known player to use it as a regular part of their repertoire is Artur Jussupow. I am confident that Kasparov will have been well aware of the line and that the "psychological effect" is not the reason for the loss.

Huh, I just so happen to get an advert for Kasparov chess tutoring. Hmm? 🤔
Bf8 is actually the most popular move in that position, with 800 games. The two Grandmasters that I recognized as playing it were Ivanchuk and Korchnoi. Once you see the mobility of the queenside pawns, it's clear why Korchnoi would be drawn to the line. When Korchnoi went from "that guy who never comes close to challenging the World Champion, but for some reason always beats Tal" to suddenly being the world's #2 ranked player, it was because he mastered *strategically* complicated positions -- positions without a fixed pawn skeleton and multiple pawn breaks that have to be considered on every move. Not to be confused with positional complexity: multiple piece imbalances and so on.
If I ever play with kasparov, I may unintentionally drive him crazy with every move I make.

@@crazysteve9390 when a GM resigns, I think it is often just a gesture. The person resigning is just saying that their position cannot advance to a draw or better without a massive error from the opponent. at the highest levels, they are giving a small amount of credit to their opponent when they resign "early." I do not believe players that are lower rated should ever resign unless it is something like an obvious mate in 2 or something. lower rated players should not be giving their opponents the benefit of the doubt.

That what French is about. You look undeveloped (or less developed) during the opening, but you press slowly on queen's side or try to break white's center. And braking black's defenses on king's side is often harder that one would think. So if white are not careful and pay too much attention on their attack on black, most often they get surprised.

It looks like Black controls the centre and the Queenside, catleling removes any direct short term counterplay against black's king. Ivanchuk has a strong passed pawn threat. It is a hard position to play as white. Steinez would have loved this position.
