11:03 04.07.2014
On Monday, July 7, World Cup and 3 time Chess Olympiad Champion Levon
Aronian will be holding a public press conference to meet and greet
media and members of the community. Grand Master Aronian is making
his first visit to Los Angeles for a 4-day chess camp organized by
Metro Chess and the American Chess Academy to be held at the Glendale
Hilton from July 9 to 13, Asbarez reports.
As part of the visit, Aronian will be teaching and coaching camp
attendees as well as sharing his own experiences as the winner and
title holder of many chess championships and tournaments including
leading the Armenian national team to three World Chess Olympic
titles. Only 31, Aronian is the third highest ranked chess player in
the history of the game behind Gary Kasparov.
Ardy Kassakhian, Glendale's elected City Clerk, expressed his
enthusiasm about Aronian's upcoming visit, "Levon Aronian has become
an icon for chess enthusiasts worldwide. But being from Armenia, and
elevating the game to new heights has secured him a particular place
in the pantheon of chess greats alongside such legends as Petrosian
and Kasparov. Glendale has one of the largest populations of Armenians
in the United States and it is a great honor to welcome a chess giant
to our city!"
Aronian will answer questions and meet with the public at a special
reception held on Monday, July 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the City of
Glendale Adult Recreation Center Auditorium located at 201 East
Colorado, Glendale, CA 91205 next to the Central Library.
