Aronian brilliant against Anand, Topalov resigns prematurely
Sometimes Aronian is simply an amazing player. Today he played a brilliant game against the player who was leading the field in Morelia: Viswanathan Anand. Replay the game and enjoy. Full of moves you just don't expect. How beautiful the game of chess can be. Morozevich-Ivanchuk and Svidler-Leko were two boring draws; the former after a Berlin Defence and the latter after another Marshall Gambit. When I write this, Carlsen and Topalov are still playing. Update in the morning: Another tragedy for Topalov. After blundering a piece against Ivanchuk, against Carlsen he resigned prematurely, in a position that's probaby a draw. Now Morelia really is the world upside down, compared to Corus...Open the games in a new windowHenrik 1. Carlsen 3,5 2-3. Aronjan, Anand 3 4-6. Ivanchuk, Leko, Svidler 2,5 7-8. Morozevic, Topalov 1,5
