Levon Aronian to participate in Grand Chess Tour Rapid and Blitz in Paris
Armenia's best chess player Levon Aronian will participate in the Grand Chess Tour Rapid and Blitz Paris to be held on June 9-12, 2016. The participants are Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian, Fabiano Caruana, Anish Giri, Vladimir Kramnik, Hikaru Nakamura, Wesley So, Veselin Topalov, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, and Laurent Fressinet. There will be two days of rapid and two days of blitz, rather similar to FIDE's schedule of their World Rapid & Blitz tournaments. Instead of 21 there are 18 rounds of blitz with a longer time control: 5+2 instead of 3+2. The rapid will be 25+10.
