That's the transformation the United States chess team underwent following the addition of Levon Aronian to its roster of Super Grandmasters.
The Filipino-born So welcomed Aronian in a Facebook post on Wednesday, March 3, where he described his fellow chess whiz as a “a very nice person as well as a great chess player.” This US roster outranks the probable best teams of top rivals Russia and China and is very capable of duplicating Team USA's triumph in the 2016 Baku Olympiad.
Russia's strongest team possible thus far is composed of world No. 4 Ian Nepomniachtchi, No. 6 Alexander Grischuk, No. 16 Serjey Karjakin, No. 24 Dmitry Andrekin, and No. 26 Nikita Vitiugov.
The guy already abandoned the Philippines in place of greener pastures. We shouldn’t patronize him anymore as he is already a US citizen.
