ChessChess Personalities
Ukraine is a legendary country, which is a real fighter and I am proud to live here and to be Ukrainian. We are fighters everywhere, and chess board is not an exception.

In this article I will tell you about some of our greatest players and their best moves!
Number 1 - Vasyl Ivanchuk
Vasyl Mykhaylovych Ivanchuk (Ukrainian: Василь Михайлович Іванчук; born March 18, 1969), also transliterated as Vassily Ivanchuk, is a Ukrainian chess player. He was awarded the title of Grandmaster by FIDE in 1988. A leading player since 1988,[1] Ivanchuk has been ranked at No. 2 on the FIDE world rankings three times (July 1991, July 1992, October 2007).[2]
Ivanchuk has won Linares, Wijk aan Zee, Tal Memorial, Gibraltar Masters and M-Tel Masters titles. He has also won the World Blitz Championship in 2007 and the World Rapid Championship in 2016.
