Levon Aronian scores wins in Meissen-hosted clock simul

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian grandmaster Levon Aronian scored a 4.5-1.5 victory in his clock simul against the six most talented young German chess players on Friday, May 31 in Meissen. Aronian, who is the world's number 2 in the live rankings, won three games and drew three games.

It was Levon Aronian's first clock simul ever. It took place on Friday afternoon in the Meissen Porcelain Factory and was named Schauspiel des Geises II ("Show of the Spirits II"), after the blindfold simul by Vlastimil Hort, Marc Lang and Rasmus Svane last year at the Potsdam Kaiserbahnhof. Aronian's opponents were the six most talented juniors of Germany, who have been called "the Princes" for a few years already (once an idea of the German Chess Federation), chessvibes.com reported.
