Yerevan shocker: Aronian wins both games against Kramnik

The rapid chess match in Yerevan is turning into the proverbial slugfest. After winning game two the Armenian star Levon Aronian won the next two games as well (when is the last time that Vladimir Kramnik lost three in a row?) to take a commanding lead. He only needs a draw in the final two games to clinch victory. Draws in this match so far: zero. Express report.
The Aronian-Kramnik Rapid Chess Match takes place in Yerevan, Armenia, from May 4th to 6th, 2007. I goes over six games, played at the rate of 25 min for the entire game with a increment of 10 seconds per move. The match will be played over three days, in the Yerevan Opera House, with the games beginning at 18:00 hrs and 19:45 hrs local time (GMT + 4). That is 15:00h CEST, 14:00h London and 09:00 a.m. New York for the first game; 16:45h, 15:45h and 10:45 a.m. for the second. Click on the Yerevan times above to get your own local time.
