Kramnik again
The top duel between Aronian and Kramnik has been won by the world champion 1,5-0,5. This means he's clear first again. By the way this match can be seen as a prelude to the rapid match the two gentlemen will play, May 4-6 in Yerevan, Armenia. For the rest, not much changed in the Monaco standings since a lot of games were drawn.Blindfold games round 6:Rapid games round 6:Results round 6:Blind: Kramnik - Aronian 1-0 Van Wely - Leko ?Ǭ?-?Ǭ?
