Re: Chess Superpower
Glad to know Artashes.
Haik is a talented boy, one day he may become World Chess Champion.
The thing I like most in Haik is that, I seem, he is psychologically strong
(like Tigran Petrosyan; I'm a former teacher I feel it at looking his picture/s www.armchess.am and game reuslts)
and it is very important; winning 8 games and making just one draw is an amasing result.
Rush ahead Haik, I/we wait for hearing additional good news about your achievements!!!Last edited by gegev; 08-29-2012, 04:43 PM.Comment

Sergei Movsesian was Armenia’s hero of the day. He secured the crucial victory against Hungary’s Zoltan Almasi. Levon Aronian, Vladimir Akopian, and Gabriel Sargissian drew their games.
China, Armenia, and Russia had entered the final round with 17 points each.
Russia defeated Germany 3-1, but fell behind Armenia on tiebreak.
China lost its match against the Ukraine 3-1 and fell behind.
Armenia emerged victorious from 9 out of 11 matches. It only lost to China and drew its match against Russia.

The top-seeds were Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Hungary, Azerbaijan, China, and the U.S., respectively.
The Armenian national team is represented by Levon Aronian, Sergei Movsesian, Vladimir Akopian, Gabriel Sargissian, and Tigran Petrosian.
Armenia won the 2006 and 2008 Olympiads, and came in seventh in 2010. It came third in 1992, 2002 and 2004.
In 2011, Armenia also won the world team chess championship.

Re: Chess Superpower
Got to love the irony. Defeating Hungary in Turkey to raise the Armenian flag.
More impressive: the fact that a nation of 3 million defeats nations of billions and hundreds of millions in a competition of intellect.Comment

Re: Chess Superpower
Chess Olympiad 2016 in Baku
Sep 8, 2012
The FIDE General Assembly has awarded the 2016 World Chess Olympiad to the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku. The other two application by Albena (Bulgaria) and Tallin (Estonia) did not make presentations before the voting and were not approved.
The Chess Federation of Azerbaijan came up with a rich offer to host the 2016 Chess Olympiad and 2015 World Cup in Baku back in July. The budget for the 2016 Chess Olympiad is the astounding 13,3 million EUR! 6,8 million is set for the first-class accommodation for the players and delegates. Another 1 million is planned for the FIDE Commission for World Championships & Olympiads and intellectual rights.
With such stable financial offer, guaranteed by the local government, the only question remained the protest of Armenia. The delegate at the FIDE congress required that “the security of the Armenian players is guaranteed”. For this reason FIDE will create a special working group. The Minister of Sports of Azerbaijan guaranteed that the Armenian players will receive visas at the airport.
FIDE World Cup 2015 also in Baku
The FIDE World Cup 2015 is also awarded to the city of Baku. With it the total budget of Baku is over 15 million EUR.
