Mukachevo, 25 - 28 October 2007, exhibition match.

 

Rapid chess, 12 games. Ivanchuk grabbed the lead in game 2 and increased it in game 6. It didn't look too good for Leko at that stage. But he won games 9 and 11. The tie break was a 2 blitz games match which Ivanchuck won (first game was a draw and he won the second with black).
