VI World Blitz Moscow 2010
Mark Crowther - Thursday 18th November 2010
The VI World Blitz took place in Moscow 16th-18th November 2010 (14 rounds the first two days, 10 the last). It followed directly on from the Tal Memorial. Magnus Carlsen competed as do all the players (except Shirov) from the Memorial making it a very strong event. Games (some incomplete) now up. Levon Aronian continued his hot form and took clear first place with 24.5/38 half a point clear of Temour Radjabov who was a further half point clear of defending champion Magnus Carlsen.
