Press conference Aronian

26 January 2007 9:03 PM | Last modified: 21:04

So two press conferences tonight. First a close look at the way Levon Aronian plays chess. The man who didn’t celebrate his breakthrough that long ago, and led his Armenian team to the gold medal at the Turin Olympiad last year. This man has it’s own style of explaining and playing, or so it seems. For instance, he keeps on saying “I didn’t calculate this” but we’re not sure if we should believe this…

Part I

Part II

    That was sooooo cool!!!!! Even the Great GM’s play moves on feeling some times…… at least Aronian does :P hahaha, he look like a great guy, relaxed funny not ashamed to say that he might have had a better move !!!! cool one

    This was really good stuff, he appeared so relaxed there!

    It doesnt matter that he missed some good moves, I think he has compensation with his caracter :)

    i think we have a new great star here. simple, funny, great attacking player. however, the question from this game is whether Bd6 is an improvement on kramnik-anand or not. i think the variation is suffering… aronian played it for the first time (he doesnt play catalan) against its inventor…

    Aronian isn’t so small as he apierce after all. He really should be concidered as the comming man

    Levon, I just wanted to congratulate you for your win today. Thanks for your interview.

    A very layed back and at times almost absent-minded performance, but amazing dexterity with the demonstration board!

    I think Levon Aronian is a great ambassador for chess in general. He clearly won a lot of fans with this press-conference (me included). In my opinion, a great chess-player should not only play good, but behave well also. Chess is a sport for ladies and gentlemen!

    Well… I think this game was determined by Karjakin’s mistakes rather than Aronian’s brilliancy, but full credit for Aronian to keep tension throughout the game.

  13. Davit on 27 January 2007 8:38 AM

    Levon, that was great! You are outstanding Armenian guy and we all are proud of you!!! Go ahead!!!!

  14. Sergey Khachatryan on 27 January 2007 11:14 AM

    My congratulations to the BEST pleyer ever. I’m sure Mr. Aronian’ll win the Corus and then become the second Armenian champion of the world after Tigran Petrosian. Wish Levon all the greatness he deserved.

    Mr Aronian is extraordinarily calm, relaxed and honnest during his demonstration on the board. We can feel he is human, making mistakes and trying to improve even when questioned in public. That is refreshing for an amateur like me. Now I know him better than from some occasional fights during parties :-) He has definitively become my favorite player.

    SHNORHAVOUR!
    A great player who should his talent when he won the world junior championship and could lead the Armenian team to victory in Torin 06.
    We gust wait and see when Mr Aronian achives the same succes av Tigran Petrosian!

    Regards
