The 3rd round of the London Chess Classic super tournament took place today.

Armenia’s strongest chess player Levon Aronian met with Russian Sergei Karyakin, one of his upcoming opponents in the World Candidates Tournament. The game, which was quite saturated and exciting, ended in peace at the 33rd step.

Before that, all the other matches ended in a draw as well. Thus, in all 15 games held in the tournament, the strongest has not been determined, which is a unique record in the history of chess.

The 4th round will take place tomorrow. Levon Aronian will compete with former world champion Viswanathan Anand.

“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
