The next best thing to winning the tournament is considered to be beating the champion of the tournament. Arjun could not do it, Martirosyan could. In fact, Armenia’s number two player was the only player to remain undefeated against Aronian in both the rapid and the blitz events. Aronian managed to beat the remaining ten players at least once.
Avoiding mistakes in the opening and even learning from mistakes is a valuable tool to improve your chess. Ruslan Ponomariov, former FIDE World Champion, demonstrates basic patterns that will help you navigate through the game more easily.

The key game for Arjun — who had won the rapid section — in his attempt to win the tournament was the first game of the day againstMartirosyan. The game ended in a draw.

Aronian won the tournament with a round to spare. Thus, a final-round against Martirosyan had no impact on his overall result. Martirosyan, remarkably, has never lost against Aronian in rated games.
