Kramnik about Aronian match: I have a feeling I missed a win

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian GM Levon Aronian, who tied a game against Russia’s Vladimir Kramnik in the 5th round of the Candidates Tournament, shares the 1st-2nd places with Magnus Carlsen of Norway.

Aronian’s problems started after his risky pawn push 13…b5. Kramnik then found the strong idea of pushing his f-pawn and sacrificing his a-pawn along the way. He managed to break open the center, but then missed a strong continuation which was pointed out by computer engines.

Nonetheless, after the time control the Russian reached a very promising ending.

“I don’t know what the computer says but I have a feeling I missed a win,” said Kramnik, and Aronian agreed with him.

In round 6, Aronian will play against Teimour Radjabov of Azerbaijan. The other pairings are: Peter Svindler – Magnus Carlsen; Vladimir Kramnik – Vassily Ivanchuk; Alexander Grischuk – Boris Gelfand.
