In a tragic end to the São Paulo leg of the Grand Slam Masters, Vassily Ivanchuk and his wife were robbed at gunpoint in the hotel driveway, before boarding the taxi that was to take them to the airport. To make things worse, his wife's passports were taken, and she could no longer accompany him to Bilbao, instead forced to return to Ukraine. Ivanchuk has threatened to abandon the tournament....

These kinds of incidents almost NEVER happen to chessplayers.

The good news: Nobody was hurt.

The bad news: His wife's out for the tournament. Ivanchuk's bleeding in a tank full of the hungriest sharks!
