December 18, Armenian man’s chess team will leave for training camp
in Tsakhkadzor to prepare for the world team championship in the city
of Bursa (Turkey) on January 3. However, team leader Levon Aronian
preferred to do so in Berlin.
In his interview with "Football 365" weekly Aronian said, "I am not
going to the training camp in Tsakhkadzor. I will prepare for the
championship at home and thereafter leave for Turkey. This year I was
in for many tournaments and decided to have some rest to be full of
renewed energy by January 3."
Asked about further plans, Aronian replied, "After Bursa I plan to
participate in the traditional tournament in Linares in the frames
of Grand Slam (February 15-22). Then we will see."
Commenting on the fact that he is out of 2009 top ten Armenian
sportsmen, Aronian said, "I do not take it seriously. I believe that
2009 season was the most successful in my career."
