Aronian Wins World Blitz Champs

Lev Aronian held onto his lead on the final day of the World Blitz Championship to take the title.

Teimour Radjabov finished in second place and Magnus Carlsen in third.

The record of the games is somewhat unreliable (as you would expect from blitz games), but is available here.

The final standings are below, and the full results can be found here.

The excellent video coverage of the event is still available on demand at the official site: day1, day2, day3.

Famed internet blitz king Nakamura finished a respectable 5th, but never fully recovered from a poor start on the first day.
