Levon Aronian wins FTX Road to Miami
Levon Aronian finished 7th in the Prelims but ultimately won 7 games and lost just one on the way to triumph in the knockout stages. In the final he won three games, all with the black pieces.
Asked what most satisfied him with his victory, he commented:
The steady improvement, I think! Of course I didn’t really deserve to be Top 8 because my play was very, very poor, and then after that I think I got myself together and I think I played better.
