Two-time United States champion Wesley So had a costly misstep and absorbed a 3-1 defeat in the first of their two-set quarterfinal duel with Armenia-born Levon Aronian in the New In Chess Classic of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour Wednesday, April 28.
The 27-year-old So committed a mouse slip that allowed Aronian to turn a drawish position into a victory in the first of the scheduled four games for the day, unnerving the Cavite-born Grandmaster and taking the early 1-0 lead.
The 38-year-old Aronian later admitted he “got lucky.”
So, the Fischer-Random king, will have a chance to bounce back and snatch their second and final match to force a deciding blitz playoff. ....
