| Davolni: <ljh>
No, I know he doesn't play chess there, who was he going to play with anyways???
;:)))
nobody in his caliber;)
If he is in Australia, then he is with Arianne. So he very well may be. But I was just wondering how true it is. I know he travels to Australia a lot. So good luck to him, wherever he is!!! |

| ljh: of course he is WC soon! |
|

| Augalv: <ljh: of course he is WC soon!> no doubt! |

| DUS: <But some of our great philosophers here in CG found it very hard to answer my question.....> <Davolni> I think because great philosophers aren't interested in money...
Let us hope an ordinary guy will answer that question. Still it is clear Levon got the biggest prize, and let us wish him to get many more. |

| DUS: <ljh> Congrats for your first 3 posings in CG all about Australian subject. I think GM may very well be in Brasil, Rio de Janeiro... Playing with Mecking, Pele, and other local players. |

 |
| notyetagm: Rumor has it that Aronian has been playing on ICC under the handle <AndrinoGiardino>. He has a pretty hefty 3500(!) blitz rating so it could be true. http://www.chessclub.com/finger/And... |

 |
| Strongest Force: Notyetagm Aronian is probably at least as good as anyone in blitz. Furthermore, i know from personal experience that he is an excellent trash talker. :) |
|
| Apr-04-08 |
| Jim Bartle: If Aronian directed trash talk my way, I'd just mention that multi-colored shirt from his earlier photo at the top of the page. Should calm him down... |

| notyetagm: <DUS: ... I think during 17th Amber Blindfold tournament Levon was improving his blindfold chess from round to round, playing such chess better and better. As a result he won Anand and Morozevich in blindfold games. I think from now on Levon will be considered as one of the best players also in blindfold game.> Yes, Aronian beat Morozevich and drew Kramnik in the blindfold games, a tremendous result. If Aronian can repeat this result next year, then he really will have proven himself to be as good a blindfold player as Kramnik and Morozevich. |

| notyetagm: Aronian vs Anand, 2007 From <Chess Today 2734>, page 2: <<Game of the Year 2007
by GM Mikhail Golubev
Maxim Notkin's project Game of Year
is now hosted at ChessPro.ru. The
opinions of the 36 experts (mainly
GMs, including Grischuk, Rublevsky,
Jakovenko, Sakaev, Sutovsky,
Shulman, Motylev, Kosteniuk and
many others) varied a lot but
nevertheless there was a clear winner:
Levon Aronian's achievement in the
game versus Vishy Anand from the
Morelia/Linares event. White's Bd7!,
ignoring the hanging Black e7 knight,
was the key move of that game. Below
is a list of the top ten games of the
year 2007.
1 Aronian-Anand 1-0 (199 points)
2 Kramnik-Morozevich 1-0 (138
points)
3 Morozevich-Sakaev 1-0 (135 points)
4 Cheparinov-Navara 0-1 (116 points)
5 Morozevich-Ivanchuk 0-1 (104
points)
6 Sargissian-Lupulescu 1-0 (99 points)
7 Shirov-Radjabov 0-1 (97 points)
8 Morozevich-Akopian 1-0 (94
points)
9 Lysyj-Ehlvest 1-0 (80 points)
10 Grischuk-Svidler ½-½- (76 points)
I was one of 36 the voters, and in my personal list only three of these games were included: Aronian-Anand as #4, Shirov-Radjabov as #1 and
Morozevich-Akopian as #8. But it is hard to argue with a collective mind.
Detailed results in Russian can be found at ChessPro.ru.> > |

| Cactus: I never knew Aronian was a fellow dragoneer, but it's actually his most common move in this position. Repertoire Explorer: Levon Aronian (black) |
|

 |
| Red October: <Cactus> yes, but he has not played that since 2002, he seems to prefer defending against the Ruy Lopez these days it seems |

Congratulations to Aronian! <notyetagm> thanks for information.> It was very, very well deserved (I'm just assuming the game chosen was Vishy's loss in Linares 2007). Bd7!! truly a move of incredible calculation and imagination... |
