    • Rapid games more "precise" than slow games :-)

      Leon rapid games (20 min. + any seconds/move) between Gelfand and Aronian (the final) was spectacular. The champion will be the winner of 4 games, and, after 3th game, Aronian was winning by 2-1. But Boris won the 4th and the two blitz games! See... | Read More
