"Why spend so much energy on something you'll never be good at?" For me, its about learning enough to appreciate the beauty of it. Last year, this Fischer game frustrated and confused me. Today, I found it awe-inspiring and beautiful. ❤️ This brings me true joy. #chesspunks
Ukrainian GM Vasyl Ivanchuk received a wild card from FIDE to participate in the FIDE World Cup that starts on July 29 in Baku.
Vasyl Ivanchuk resides in Lviv, Ukraine. According to current legislation, he needs permission from the Ministry of Youth and Sports to leave the country for sports purposes as he is under the age of 60 (he is currently 54 years old). Such permission was not granted. The official request from the organizers of the World Cup, the Azerbaijan Chess Federation, was also declined.
To address this situation, some of the world’s top Grandmasters signed an open letter to the Minister of Youth and Sport of Ukraine, Mr. Vadym Gutzeit.
We are asking the chess community to support this motion by sharing the letter and hope that more Grandmasters will voice their support for GM Ivanchuk.
