Armenian Grandmaster Levon Aronian, white in a Cambridge Springs variation against Spain\u2019s Alexei Shirov, tried hard to produce a win, too hard, as he admitted himself after the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was doing very well out of the opening but I messed it up. 17.Bg3 was a patzer move and I continued playing like a patzer,\u201d he said. Fortunately for Aronian, Shirov ended up in time trouble, committed a few inaccuracies and then decisively spoiled his game with a horrendous move. As the game went, Aronian took the full point at his 53rd.<\/p>\n<p>The victory allowed Aronian to catch up in the standings to a tied first place with Viswanathan Anand (India), Vladimir Kramnik (Russia) and Hikaru Nakamura (US) \u2014 all with 6 points each.<\/p>\n<p>Another chess player representing Armenia at Tata Steel is Gabriel Sargsissian in Group B, who, playing white, scored a victory against Radek Wojtaszek (Poland). Sargissian also has 6 points and is in the lead, along with Luke McShane (England) and Wesley So (Philippines).<\/p>\n<p>Today, Aronian will play against Anish Giri (Netherlands) while Sargissian&#8217;s opponent will be Le Quang Liem (Vietnam). Both Armenian Grandmasters will be playing white.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Armenian Grandmaster Levon Aronian, white in a Cambridge Springs variation against Spain\u2019s Alexei Shirov, tried hard to&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57571,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[14767,14766,10641,20651,15508,15790,20298],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58786"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
