Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Aronian really rocks. He’s better than the rest for sure.
I feel that Aronian was quite lucky this tournament… I mean, his blindfold wins against Giri, Nakamura, Gelfand and Topalov were a bit incredible, weren’t they?!
Kramnik was just having fun. Wait until the Candidates – he will surprise Aronian and the rest.
