Kasparov is right: the chess world is
a better place when Levon Aronian
is playing well. After a bit of a dry
spell, things are looking up for Le-
von, with a new daughter and a first
place finish at the WR Masters. A
solid showing at the American Cup
is further reason for Aronian’s fans
to think things are looking up.
