Made a quiz. If you need to know Hikaru's spirit animal, which Disney princess would fall in love with Anish, or the D&D class of Rapport...

Thank you for talking about Anand, he is one of my favorite players. You summarized his career very well. One game I think you forgot, is Aronian-Anand 2013. It's the modern version of the Slav game against kramnik, and also an important model game for the Slav. Anand won in just 23 moves, with a beautiful attack on the white king.

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I don't actually know that game so really appreciate you mentioning it - I love working through GM games (sadly don't often have the time I guess like everyone) so will definitely add this one to my list!

Fabi and whatsisname from C-Squared are not the best interviewers in the world but hour long interviews with chess legends is still really good. The Levon Aronian episode was super interesting and gave some insight into post-soviet life through the eyes of a jewish-armenian person moving around eastern europe as a child during the actual collapse

Alla fine si scoprirà

che le voci sul fatto che lui bari, le ha messe in giro lo stesso Hans Niemann.

Perché così gli altri, invece di concentrarsi sul giocare al meglio, pensano in continuazione “ah ma che mossa strana, secondo me sta barando, sicuro sicuro!”.

E intanto lui vince.

Levon Aronian: “Yeah, I think it was a strange game; I think Hans played very very strange moves at some point and I think I lost my concentration and blundered.”

Levon Aronian Wins 2024 American Cup

ST. LOUIS — GM Levon Aronian won the 2024 American Cup in St. Louis on Wednesday, March 20 after defeating GM Wesley So 2½–1½ in their first Grand Final match. Of 19 games in the tournament, the former world number-two (and currently number-20) hadn’t lost a single one. He conquered the challenging format—playing all the time controls of classical, rapid, and blitz—and claimed the $90,000 first prize and a $15,000 bonus for winning the Champions Bracket. He also received a luxury Mongolian chess set, one which WGM Anastasiya Karlovich said he was already admiring at the opening ceremony, and a…

Chess for recovering better.

To celebrate the International Chess Day, on 20 July (10:00-12:00 EST), top chess personalities, including the FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich, Viswanathan Anand, Vladimir Kramnik, Levon Aronian, and Hou Yifan, will take part in a high-level virtual event - “Chess for Recovering Better”. 

The event will be attended by the United Nations and government officials, permanent missions to the UN, representatives of civil society, academia, and other relevant stakeholders. It will be broadcast live by the UN, and also at FIDE's Youtube Channel. 

This meeting aims at providing a platform to discuss the unique capabilities leveraged by chess in supporting social cohesion, equality, and inclusion, with a focus on COVID-19 response and recovery efforts for building back better. 

From the concept note of the event: 

"Globally, chess is recognized as a powerful tool for promoting the values of discipline, equality, respect for rules, and mutual understanding. In 2019, the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted resolution 74/22 under agenda items “Sport for development and peace” and “Culture of peace”, designating the 20th of July as World Chess Day. 

The resolution acknowledges the important opportunities offered by chess in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs, such as strengthening education and health, fostering solidarity and promoting cooperation, gender equality, inclusivity, and peace. 

Throughout history, games and sports have helped humanity to survive times of crisis by reducing anxieties and improving mental health. While the coronavirus outbreak has forced most gaming and sports activities to scale down, chess has demonstrated remarkable resilience, adaptability, and very strong convening power in time of the pandemic. Over the past few months, the overall interest in chess is reported to have doubled, with more players than ever coming together to participate in chess events that are being increasingly held through online platforms."

Chess: Magnus Carlsen stimulus missed as Levon Aronian wins in Düsseldorf | Magnus Carlsen

Last week’s WR Masters in Düsseldorf, Germany, looked on paper an interesting opportunity for potential rivals to Magnus Carlsen to showcase their skills, and for the new generation of teenage grandmasters to measure their development against the established top 10. In the event, Düsseldorf fell slightly short on both counts. Levon Aronian won the €40,000 first prize, a fine recovery from a poor…
