Music, specially classical and jazz, is among the chess Grand Master Levon Aronyan’s hobbies.

At his meeting with journalists March 5, he said he likes reading, visiting clubs and festivals. “The last book I read was a most interesting book on economics,” he said.

As to the possibility of his following the example of Garry Kasparov, who engaged in politics, Aronyan said he is not at all interested in politics. However, he is well aware of what he is “going to do tomorrow.”

Among his hobbies is also traveling and playing football through he is not good at the latter.

As regards alcoholic beverages, Aronyan told journalist he prefers wine, port (wine), tequila and cornel vodka.

Responding to a question about his love for chess and his Philippine girlfriend, Aronyan said such question is wrong. “It is the same as to ask whom or what a man loves more – his mother or stuffed cabbage rolls. Whatever it is, chess is my life,” Aronyan said. He pointed out that his girlfriend knows about Armenia more than he does.

Aronyan added that both in chess and in life he seeks to show the best game, without sparing anyone.
