WFM Arianne Caoili passed away today.

Sad news today outside of the COVID-19 pandemic. Australian WFM Arianne Caoili died after suffering injuries in an accident. She was married to top chess player Levon Aronian.

I never met Arianne but I did meet Levon and feel nothing but sadness for him.

I knew her personally, saw her play in person a few times. Very sad to hear this. The next tournament I play will be dedicated and in honour of her.
Damn, thats a tough blow for Levon, and her whole family of course. RIP tho
She was a fascinating and inspiring woman, not just an ornament in the world of chess. Will be deeply missed.
