Armenian grandmaster Levon Aronian suffered defeat at the eight round of the Sinquefield Cup underway in Saint Louise, USA. The Armenian lost to Aleksandr Nepomnyashi of Russia.

 After eight rounds played, Fabiano Caruana, Viswanathan Anand, Ding Liren and Sergey Karjakin are leading the table with 4.5 points each. In the ninth round Aronian will face World Champion Magnus Carlsen.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
