Aronian catches Leko to win in Yerevan
The Karen Asrian Memorial got an Armenian winner in the end. By catching Peter Leko in the penultimate round, Levon Aronian won another non-classical chess event after Amber 2008.That must have been a bit of a disappointment for Peter Leko, who hasn't tasted the joy of a tournament victory for a while. This time he was very close: after twelve rounds he was still leading but the thirteenth round was an unlucky one for the Hungarian. [TABLE=309]
