Playing Style
Ivanov played with great verve and imagination, displaying wonderful intuition and deep calculation. He was both a dangerous tactician and a profound strategist. He had a wide opening repertoire, especially with White, where he essayed both Open Games and Closed Games with virtuosity. Ivanov's best games are reminiscent of former World Champion Boris Spassky and of former world finalist David Bronstein.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or style:
“We cannot set aside an hour for discussion with our children and hope that it will be a time of deep encounter. The special moments of intimacy are more likely to happen while baking a cake together, or playing hide and seek, or just sitting in the waiting room of the orthodontist.”

“I never knew a writer yet who took the smallest pains with his style and was at the same time readable.”
