		Ivanchuk, with White, had missed a win in game 7 (the game was instead drawn) that would have clinched the match right then and there.

		Ivanchuk won't play in Corus or Linares next year, and is also out of the World Championship cycle.
		Ivanchuk currently has a high rating, and is a very original player (and with great will to win) I think that he would be a great choice for supertournaments.
