Reykjavik Open has in some ways “loyal customers”. Many players come here over and over and I’ve been shaking many hands today during the 1st round. One of them was Ivan Sokolov to whom I said “ahhh Ivan….another thousand years!!” to which he replied….”amazing…seems everybody has seen this”
By “this” he of course means by now his legendary reaction after not winning against Nakamura in Tata Steel earlier this year after a good early part of the game. Ivan has recovered and look for him to battle for top honors as always in Reykjavik
