At 43, is it too late for Ivanchuk?

Post by davhur »

Despite the fact that Vassily Ivanchuk recently won the Capablanca Memorial tournament, he is playing tournament chess less and less. Now at 43 have we seen the best of the Ukranian? never to be crowned a chess champion. Some of his games show a kind of imagination few could ever possess. Take a look at this article Ivanchuk's Invention that includes the ridiculous Qg7 move against Shirov. Has there ever been any player as talented to never become world champion?
