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.

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