ARONIAN SPLITS POINTS WITH CARLSEN
YEREVAN, MARCH 7, ARMENPRESS; Armenian grandmaster
Levon Aronian was forced to split the point with
Magnus Carlsen of Norway after the penultimate round
at the Morelia-Linares chess tournament underway in
the Spanish city on Thursday. He now shares 3-4th
places.
World Champion Viswanathan Anand played out an easy
draw with Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine to maintain his
slender half point lead
Barring a disaster in the last round game against
former world champion Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria,
Anand is assured of at least a shared first place in
the category-21 tournament and is likely to retain the
title he won last year.
