These 35 minutes will convince you why Levon Aronian is a genius!

[@SurajSubraveti]

Levon's point about curiosity and always looking for something new reminds me of this quote from existentialist philosopher Flaubert: "Even the slightest thing contains a little that is unknown. We must find it. To describe a tree, we must remain before that tree until it no longer resembles for us any other tree.”

No wonder why Levon Aronian is one of the most loved and respected guys at the highest level of chess. Not just his genius, his genuineness, his empathy, his perceptive abilities, his profound thought about life, his humility, everything is top tier.

[@Phurngirathaana]

Aronian's wins against Anand at Linares 2007 and 2008 are two of the most beautiful games you'll ever see😊

[@anmol.1338]

interestingly , anands immortal was also against aronian

[@sandeeproy1327]

Actually both of them have played some great games against each other in their career. The joke Levon cracked at poor Akhil in today's opening ceremony of Chennai Grandmaster, just shows his respect for Vishy

[@anmol.1338]

@@sandeeproy1327 what was the joke?

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

i read an interview and when he was much younger, he had to make money for his family hustling Western businessmen for games of chess in the lounges of hotels !! He's come up the hard way....which is why I respect him greatly

[@arvindradhakrishnan8270]

[@pranayreddykotlo132]

Interview with GM vaishali sagar

[@annaperfect1357]

❤

[@rakeshpandey8336]

What sandeep maheshwari doing here 😂😂

[@cansooter1032]

Why he is looking like sandeeo maheshwari

[@stanmonzon5788]

I agree with him about canned laughter. So annoying

[@kacywilliams1]

Something about that felt odd to me. His answers didn't strike me as genius as much as rambling b.s. I sure am a fan of his chess though.
