Ivanchuk robbed at gunpoint in Brazil!

Thankfully at least he's OK.

Sad, but Sao Paulo is not the safest place in the world.

that's brazil for you. chucky got lucky.

Korchnoi was mugged in London whilst crossing Tower Bridge a number of years ago.

You haven't officially been to S. America until you get robbed at gun/knife point.

In my case it was broken glass point and he didn't get anything but still... stamp on the passport and enjoy the rest of your stay.

nah, rhp gameviewer just doesn't deal with linebreaks normally, never has. it's always a simple operation of deleting linebreaks from the pgn.
