Played in round three of The Tata Chess Tournament, 2012, this was an incredible performance by Norweigan chess genius and world number one Magnus Carlsen. Aronian was leading the tournament with successive wins in his first two games. Carlsen was trailing him by half a point, so a win would place him as sole leader. This was no small feat, as Aronian was (and still is) the second-highest rated player in the world - and by all accounts a hugely gifted and talented player. In particular his attacking prowess is reknowned, notably with the bishop pair.

Robert James “Bobby” Fischer is considered by many as one of the greatest chess players of all time. His name is synonymous with chess in the USA. Bobby Fischer was born in 1943. At the age of 13 he earned the brilliancy price in the Rosenwald Memorial Tournament against Donald Byrne, the game is known as “The Game of the Century”. Fischer participated in eight US Chess Championships, winning each one of them. In 1971 he became the first official number one rated chess player of FIDE. In 1972 he won the World Chess Championship from Boris Spassky. Bobby Fischer died in 2008

Levon Aronian has won the prestigious Tata Chess tournament of 2012. It was a remarkable display of his superb talent against the world’s elite, with a final score of 9/13 and a performance rating of 2891. He won an incredible seven of his thirteen games, which is the same amount of wins combined as Magnus Carlsen and Teimour Radjabov, who finished in equal second, along with rising star Fabiano Caruana of Italy. Despite losing his individual game to Carlsen, Aronian stole the show at Wijk aan Zee with his attacking and dynamic play.
