Armenia’s Aronian overtakes Russia’s Kramnik
October 12, 2013
Armenian Grandmaster (GM) Levon Aronian passed GM Vladimir Kramnik
(Russia) and jumped to second place in the current Live Chess Ratings.
Aronian, who plays first board for the three-time World Chess Olympiad
champion Armenian national team, achieved this accomplishment owing to
his successful performances at the Bilbao Chess Masters Final – also
called the Grand Slam Chess Final – being held in Spain. GM Magnus
Carlsen (Norway) tops the ratings.
To note, Levon Aronian defeated GM Michael Adams (England) in Round 5
of the Grand Slam Chess Final and, as a result, he is the one-man
leader of this tournament.
