Was Ivanchuk Winning Against Wang Yue?
In round 2 of the MTel Masters, Ivanchuk fell for a very nice trick against Wang Yue and lost a king and pawn with two extra pawns. Prior to that, he had been pressing, but nothing close to a win - or at least so I thought.
Frits Fritschy wrote in to say that in this position, after Black's 43rd move, Ivanchuk had a win.

I might have used an engine, but I doubt I would have had the same pleasure...
As I'm supposed to work sometimes, I hope you don't mind I'll come back to this later this week.
