Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

        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!!!

              Armenia Defeats Hungary, Wins Gold at Chess Olympiad

              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.

              Organized by the International Chess Federation (FIDE), the Olympiad is the most prestigious team competition in the chess world.

              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.

              ISTANBUL, Turkey (A.W.)—Armenia cemented its reputation as a chess superpower by winning gold at the Chess Olympiad on Sept. 9, after defeating Hungary 2.5-1.5 in the final round. Sergei Movsesian was Armenia’s hero of the [...]

                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.

                  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.

                  I would pay so much money to see them have to raise Armenia's flag.
