Ivanchuk-Sokolov from the ECC

   [1]As I noted a few days ago, the world championship is not the only
   ongoing event featuring top players; there's also the European Club
   Cup. One of those elite performers is Ukranian legend Vassily
   Ivanchuk, and his recent game against one-time phenom (and still a
   strong GM) Alexei Sokolov caught my eye. What amazed me was how
   quickly and forcefully Ivanchuk was able to push a player of Sokolov's
   caliber off the board. Frightening!
   Have a look [2]here.
