“Tashir” Chess Tournament dedicated to 85th birthday of the 9th World Chess Champion Tigran Petrosyan has launched in Moscow. The only representative of Armenia Levon Aronyan finished his first match in a draw. Our grandmaster shared the point with Israeli Boris Gelfand.
The match ended in the 48th step. The first round was pretty quiet. Din Lizhen-Vladimir Kramnik, Peter Leko- Alexander Morozevich matches did not have winners too.
Only Alexander Grischuk provided a victorious start, who in the 46th step took advantage with white figures over his compatriot Ernesto Inarkiev.
