Best chess player of Armenia Levon Aronyan will play with Peter
Svidler from Russia on 15-10 August in Mainz, Germany. They will play
for the title of the champion of "Chess-960".
Secretary of the Armenian Chess Federation Gagik Hovhannisyan told
"A1+" that in contrast to common chess the rules of "Chess-960"
are different. Before each game the computer chooses positions for
the players. There are 960 such positions, hence the name of the
tournament.
Last year Aronyan participated in this tournament and won the right
to compete with the present champion, Peter Svidler.
