Not much for TransWarp last 24 hours..

TransWarp only had 1 standard game since the last post. Again, I think this is due to the MTel Masters Tournament going on at this time. I hope so anyway! It seems like GM Vassily Ivanchuk (FIDE 2740) is racing out of the gate with 4 straight wins after 4 rounds! So I will post the 3 games from today's 4th round. There was only 1 decisive game, of course that would be Ivanchuk over Cheparinov. Again, I have to ask why there are two Bulgarians in this tournament, there are many +2700 players to choose from, could it be it's IN Bulgaria? Chess has more politics THAN politics, I swear. I'll start with the Ivanchuk-Cheparinov game.



Now to two theoretical draws, in this tournament all games must be submitted to an arbitor before a draw is agreed. This is 3-fold repetition, no material & theoretical draws, of which these two games are.



It seems in the following game, both parties were eager to exchange down to a theoretical draw.
