Chess: Armenia’s Aronian suffers another defeat at Geneva FIDE Grand Prix

Panorama, Armenia

At Round 8 of the third tournament of 2017 FIDE World Chess Grand Prix taking place in Geneva, Switzerland, Armenian GM Levon Aronian lost his game against Yan Nepomnyashchi from Russia.

As the Armenian National Olympic Committee told Panorama.am, after eight rounds, Aronian shares 14-15 places with 3.5 points.

GM Levon Aronian will face Saleh Salem (UAE) at the final round of the tournament scheduled on Saturday.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
