Chess news: Gelfand Wins Leon Rapid -- Boris Gelfand of Israel is not older than dirt, but he is also not young, at least in chess terms.

Boris Gelfand piles on the pain -- Boris Gelfand’s credentials as a world class match chess player were further enhanced as he won the XXIII Torneo Magistral de Ajedrez Ciudad de Leon in a Blitz play off against world-number-five Levon Aronian. Last year Gelfand secured a place in the Candidates Matches, the last eight of the world chess championship by winning the World Cup knockout where he was supreme in speed chess playoffs. He exhibited the same kind of nerveless play at Leon. Gelfand won three games in a row to take the title. He needed victory in the fourth Rapid game to save the match but the Blitz was one-sided. Aronian looked a broken man at the end, the second game was gruesome. ... | |
