23.07.13 | 09:44

Top Armenian grandmaster Levon Aronian is in Armenia to get ready for the World Chess Cup that is due to be held in the Norwegian city of Tromso from August 10 through September 3.

While in Armenia Aronian also plans to hold a team practice session.

“I’ll stay in Armenia till early August to later leave for Norway. Here I have a chance to train every day, which I’m very glad about. I’ll try to show a good play in the World Cup, yet my main goal is vying for the World Champion’s title,” said Aronian, as quoted by Pan.Armenian.net.

As part of his stay in Armenia FIDE’s current number two chess player on Monday also had a session of simultaneous chess games at the Chess House in Yerevan as part of activities promoting equal opportunities for disabled people.
