President of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) Kirsan Ilyumzhinov compared the game of World Cup winner Levon Aronyan with the style of the world champion Tigran Petrosyan.
Ilyumzhinov said that Levon is a stable chess player who always shows good results, adding that he is good both in defense and in attack.
"The fact that he won the World Cup again, speaks about his consistently high level of readiness," he said.
President of the International Chess Federation noted that Levon is very intelligent and thinking chess player having encyclopedic knowledge. He added that Aronian's game reminded him the style of world champion Tigran Petrosyan.
Grandmaster (GM) Levon Aronian (Armenia) has once again been declared FIDE World Chess Cup winner, after 12 years.
By advancing to the finals of this tournament, Aronian already had been eligible to compete in the Candidates Tournament, which will be held in the German capital city of Berlin in March 2018, to determine the challenger for the World Chess Championship.
