Aronian to Deliver a Live Lecture at KCF Academy on January 19

The next guest star at KCF Academy is the chess legend Levon Aronian, a true chess legend. Aronian led Armenia to three gold medals at the World Chess Olympiads and has consistently ranked among the world’s strongest players. His fiery and creative style has earned him a legion of devoted fans worldwide.

Garry Kasparov has often praised Aronian’s impact on the game, famously stating, “The chess world is a better place when Aronian is playing well.” Even reigning World Champion Magnus Carlsen once declared in an interview with Sport-Express that Aronian was his main rival in the quest for a world championship title. Carlsen said, “My main opponent is Aronian. He has repeatedly shown himself to be one of the strongest players in the world.”

Aronian's games are widely regarded as some of the finest and most instructive of modern chess, with many considered true gems of the 21st century. In this special lecture, he will delve into the art of playing aggressively with Black and reveal strategies to seize the initiative right from the opening.
