    LEVON ARONIAN STARTED WORLD CHAMPION CANDIDATES' TOURNAMENT WELL - RUSSIAN GM

    April 2

    By Vera Martirosyan

    The World Champion Candidates' Tournament, which wrapped up in London,
    will be remembered for long. Grandmaster (GM) Levon Aronian-who plays
    first board for the three-time World Chess Olympiad champion Armenian
    national team and who is currently ranked second in the World Chess
    Federation (FIDE) Ratings-began the tournament marvelously. Russian
    national chess team coach, GM Vladimir Potkin-who had worked with
    Aronian for several years-told this to NEWS.am Sport.

    "This was one of the most spectacular and interesting tournaments.

    They all were fighting until the last moment. Levon began the
    tournament marvelously, but only he can explain what happened with
    him after his game against [GM Boris] Gelfand [of Israel]; there
    could be a variety of factors. The tension was so strong in the end
    that many were making mistakes.

    "I wish Levon Aronian success, so that he may perform in the best
    way in the next stage. Despite everything, he is one of the world's
    strongest chess players. With his beautiful game, Levon will make the
    Armenian fans happy still for a long time," Potkin said in particular.
