Aronian could move from 3,g to 4,h and even if she take it he can move then with king from 2,h to 3,g why they think its mate????

[ChessQueen]

@Armo949494 Grandmasters resign when they see that mate is unavoidable, they don't necessarily wait till there is mate on the board. In the position where he resigned, Aronian would have to play Bh4 but then after Rxh4+ if he played Kg3 I would play Qg4 mate. The only alternative would be to play Qh3 after Rxh4+ but losing his Queen would make further resistance impossible. That's why Aronian resigned.

@ChessQueen what you think could you beat him in rematch? :P

[ChessQueen]

@Armo949494 That would be very hard but not impossible.

[Armo949494]

@ChessQueen IS he really such good? He is from my country.

@Armo949494 Levon Aronian is an extremely strong chess player, right now (beginning 2012) he is #2 in the world, according to the live chess ratings site.

A great win, well played Alexandra....Qe5 was very nice

[TheRightNeutrino]

@MrJuno6 i think he simply didn't really care about the game, he really underestimated her and simply didn't try to much, he didn't really care to lose this game, didn't really think about the moves, as if he's playing half asleep.

The synchronization between the live video and the animated board is awesome.

Aronian is the best blitz player right now
