Aronian and Carlsen way ahead of the pack
After eight rounds Levon Aronian remains the proud leader at the Amber Blindfold and Rapid Tournament. The Armenian GM defeated World Champion Vishy Anand 1½-½. With three rounds to go Magnus Carlsen seems to be his only remaining challenger. The Norwegian GM follows at half-a-point’s distance after defeating Veselin Topalov 1½-½. In third place Vishy Anand and Vasily Ivanchuk are already three points behind. Aronian defended his lead in the blindfold competition. In the rapid competition Carlsen calls the shots, one point ahead of Aronian.
The € 1,000 Game of the Day Prize was awarded to Levon Aronian for his rapid win over Vishy Anand.
Although Aronian bag the prize of 1,000 euros for the game of the day over world champion Vishy Anand, and in my opinion this is the best game in round 8 Carlsen against Topalov
