World cup-holder, Armenian Grand Master Levon Aronyan lost his game before 1.4 finals held in Khanti-Mansiysk. This defeat deprived him to participate in Grand Prix. He said that he even did not think of Grand Prix, but he will try to get another chance for his participation. In the interview conducted with him he said “This competition gave me lots of new things; I tried several new combinations, and besides it gave me everyday wisdom.”

According to him this competition suits to young chess players more as its speed is high. And the ages of the winners – 24 years old, prove it. “I think I’m more experienced and I do not class me in the stage of young players,” said he. The Armenian Grand Master said that he plan to take his holidays, and then take active part in the competitions, by the way, there are many competitions in the first part of 2008.

Note that Aronyan became a world cup-holder two years ago. He said that his victory was in some way symbolic, as it led him in his future career. “I understood, that I can compete and win. I think nothing is over,” said L. Aronyan.
