According to Grand master Levon Aronian, if his team, his family and Ariana did not help him so much, he would not be able to win. “I knew that this was my last chance, since in case of defeat, I would lose 1-2 or more years.

However, I managed to find new strengths and achieve victory,” concluded Aronian. Let us add that Levon Aronian and Ariana Caoili’s wedding will be played on September 30.The chess player preferred not to get into much detail about this.
