Levon Aronian succeeded in the 6th round of the tournament. Playing white pieces, the Armenian grandmaster gained advantage over Wesley So from U.S.

Having won 3,5 points, Aronian improved his positions. Currently he shares 2-4 places, falling behind the leader of the tournament Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (France) only half a step. 

Aronian will compete with Hikaru Nakamura (USA) today.

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
