Levon Aronian finished the Amber 2011 event on 15.5/22 a point clear of Magnus Carlsen. This is to be his third first prize for this tournament, already won this in 2008 and 2009. He was undefeated in Blindfold section, while Magnus Carlsen coming second and top the score in Rapid section. This session of Amber Chess sadly the last of the franchise, meaning next year it would be no more (or hopefully changed into another name....). Nakamura finished in middle board, ahead of Kramnik, Topalov etc. Anish Giri is the one in the worst shape and ended last.
