If Aronian wins this game, he wins the #AmericanCup! 23...Rxd5!! and if 24.Bxf6 Rd3 keeps the advantage! https://t.co/hDmQEjbK10 https://t.co/186rDmz46r
18...Bb5 was apparently a missed win here, but Aronian played the what-could-be-more-natural move 18...Qh4? to initiate an attack that, objectively, doesn't pan out! https://t.co/hDmQEjbK10 #AmericanCup https://t.co/Ysw3shQNHu
Wesley before his rapid game vs. Levon: "I want to congratulate Levon for his excellent play in the tournament so far. He's played very inspiring chess this year, and as Garry [Kasparov] said, the chess world is always happier when Levon Aronian plays well." #AmericanCup https://t.co/IWAfLtEbiI
