Profile: Levon Aronian
Mark Glukhovsky writes about Levon Aronian’s search for spiritual comfort. A personal profile of a dear friend.

Aronian wins World Cup
In Georgia’s capital Tbilisi, physical fitness, mental resilience and a close-knit team were the pillars of Levon Aronian’s fully deserved success. Not for the first time this year the Armenian out-performed World Champion Magnus Carlsen. His fans have reason to believe that he is closer to his biggest dream than ever.

Magnus says ‘relax’
The World Champion entered the rapidly growing Open on the Isle of Man, hungry for chess after his brief sojourn in Tbilisi. With a relaxed approach, both freewheeling and energetic, he was the fully deserved winner of the £50,000 first prize.
