What is Aronian's Secret?

Make that "who is Aronian's secret". Early this month the Armenian master defeated GM Vladimir Kramnik 4-2 in their rapid match - a very impressive achievement with some wonderful play. Now playing in the World Championship Candidate's matches in Elista, it looks like Aronian's excellent fortune is set to continue. His secret? The answer is here.

Do I hear wedding bells?

And I've just spotted a radio interview between Arianne and SBS Radio's Filipino program. Download the MP3 here. "There are so many beautiful women in chess", she said. Where?

Just diverting our attention now to something less romantic - those guys in the ACF and NSWCA better get moving over to www.chess.com soon. I'm pretty sure that that's Matthew Sweeney playing one of his usual set pieces. I am so looking forward to a reunion of familiar foes.

Re: 'The answer is here': Aronian is marrying Boris Gelfand? LOL! I think you meant to link to a different photo!

No stupid - look at the bird at the back. It's Arianne. She and Aronian have been an item for some time now (since Turin?)

of course it's Arianne, she's not stupid! Lev and her an item, obviously, finally it's public. She's in Elista, what more evidence do people need!

Reminds me of Bec Cartwright watching her man Hewitt from the spectators seats during his tennis matches. Like most guys up there in sports, they get the okay chics, and good lookers as girlfriends, wives.

Sorry for us regular nerdy looking chess guys, maybe we need to work on our fide rating. LOL!
