Levon Aronian wins 2026 Biel Masters Triathlon
A draw in the final classical round preserved a four-point margin and secured the overall title.
Levon Aronian clinched the 2026 Biel Masters Triathlon after drawing Aydin Suleymanli in the final classical round.
The result took Aronian to 29.5 points and Suleymanli to 25.5, preserving the four-point margin between them. Classical wins are worth four points in Biel’s triathlon scoring, while draws are worth 1.5, so no remaining result could change the overall winner.
Aronian entered the four-player final stage with 25 points after the rapid, classical and blitz qualifier segments, then drew all three final-stage games.
