In a dramatic tenth and penultimate round the number of leaders at the
Amber Blindfold and Rapid Tournament was reduced from three to one. As
World Championship Vishy Anand stumbled against Alexander Morozevich
due to a classical blindfold error and Magnus Carlsen lost to Vladimir
Kramnik due to an atypically poor performance in their blindfold game,
Levon Aronian moved into the sole lead again. Aronian defeated Wang
Yue 1½-½ and with one round (two games) to go he is one full point
ahead of Anand and Carlsen. In the last round Aronian plays Topalov,
Anand faces Wang Yue and Carlsen is paired with Radjabov.
Levon Aronian scored a very important point in his blindfold game
against Wang Yue, but the Armenian grandmaster had to work hard for
the point. In the rapid game Aronian equalized comfortably, but was
unable to reach more.
Wang Yue played well and after 46 moves the draw was a fact,official
website of the Amber Chess Tournament reported.
