Entrevista con Aronian

AH: Hi Levon – nice to talk to you again and welcome back to Yerevan. Tomorrow you square off against the World Champion Vladimir Kramnik in a 6 game rapid chess match. How would you assess him as a player?
LA: Well, it is well known that Kramnik rarely loses, a solid positional player in the classic sense. In fact, I have to say that I like to play in a similar style - I like his games. Of course, he has had his ups and downs, but when he is at his best you could say that he is almost unbeatable.
AH: I am sure you were following the Leko-Kramnik match [won by Kramnik 4.5-3.5]. What were your impressions of the games?
LA: Actually, I didn’t have time to follow the games as I was at a training camp here in Armenia. I did have a chance to briefly look at the games after the fact, but can’t give you a really deep assessment. Nevertheless, it seems that his victory was fairly convincing, an opinion shared by several of my colleagues who followed the games more carefully.
AH: Much has been discussed about your meteoric rise to the very top of chess over the past two years. If there was a single factor that you would attribute to this rise, what would it be?
LA: [some hesitation] Pure luck. [Laughter]
AH: Well, OK, I guess everyone is entitled to his opinion. Levon, you mentioned that you were at a training session recently. Who do you work with?
LA: It has become customary for me to study chess with friends. And once again, in the resort town of Jermuk, I was with several of my “usual suspects,” GMs Gabriel Sargissian, Arman Pashikian, and Ara Minasian. Regarding this session, I am quite satisfied from the time spent with them and think that it was a successful effort. I’d like to underscore that I enjoy training with my friends.
AH: Armenians have cemented their reputation as a strong chess-playing nation. Is there a so-called “Armenian style” of chess? If so, how would you describe it?
LA: Generally, you could say that Armenians have had a lack in opening preparation, leading to positions out of the opening where they haven’t enjoyed much of an opening advantage. Maybe the Informants [compendiums of opening theory and analysis] didn’t reach far-away Armenia because of the unreliable postal service [smiling]. Seriously though, one could characterize Armenians by their fighting spirit, often playing long games, striving for victory to the very end. But it's possible that I am not so typical in this regard. My recent experience playing in many high level tournaments has compelled me to improve my opening preparedness.
AH: Levon, you are well known as a strong player in all kinds of formats. What do you have to say about the 25 minute game time control?
LA: I like playing chess. It doesn’t matter if it is 5 minute blitz, 25 minute rapid, or a 2 hr per side classical match. Quite simply, I enjoy playing chess.
AH: Any closing thoughts?
LA: Just a warm greeting to all my friends and fans!
AH: OK. Thanks Levon and best of luck in the upcoming match

AH: Cual es tu opinión de Kramnik como jugador?
LA: K raramente pierde gracias a su sólido estilo posicional en el sentido clásico. A mi me gusta jugar un estilo parecido, de hecho, me gustan sus juegos. Por dsupuesto tiene sus altibajos, pero jugando a su máximo es practicamente inbatible.
AH: A que atribuyes tu meteórico ascenso a los más altos niveles del ajedrez mundial?
LA: [Se incomoda] Pura suerte [Risas]
AH: Qué opinas del control de tiempo de 25 minutos por juego?
LA: Me gusta jugar ajedrez. No importa si es blitz, un rapidín de 25 minutos, a un juego clásico de 2hr por jugador. Es muy simple disfruto jugar ajedrez
