    Boris and Vassily at the Dead Sea

    July 12, 2018

    From Colin McCourty at chess24:

    The Gideon Japhet Cup recently ended in Jerusalem with Ian Nepomniachtchi finishing a point ahead of the chasing pack, but it’s continued to provide interesting material. At least one of the photos of Boris Gelfand and Vassily Ivanchuk on a later trip to the Dead Sea deserves to go viral, while both Nepo and Gelfand also gave long interviews to Emil Sutovsky. Ian considers Magnus somewhat overrated as a match player, while Boris compares the Carlsen-Caruana match to Karpov-Kasparov and reveals how a young Fabiano once surprised him with his devotion to chess.

    After the tournament Boris Gelfand and Vassily Ivanchuk visited the Dead Sea together. There is a photo with the two talking while sitting on the beach, being shaded by multi-colour umbrellas/parasols.

    It is one of those photos that everyone should see, of the two great players of our generation.

    Another version can be seen at the chessbase site:

    And what is printed on the red baseball caps? It is my belief that it is “Make The Dead Sea Great Again”.
