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.

    Re: Chess Superpower

    He has as many points as Gelfand so why is he in second place? Did he lose to him head to head?

        .
        Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
        Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
        Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

          Armenia's Aronian overtakes Russia's Kramnik

          October 12, 2013


          Armenian Grandmaster (GM) Levon Aronian passed GM Vladimir Kramnik
          (Russia) and jumped to second place in the current Live Chess Ratings.

          Aronian, who plays first board for the three-time World Chess Olympiad
          champion Armenian national team, achieved this accomplishment owing to
          his successful performances at the Bilbao Chess Masters Final - also
          called the Grand Slam Chess Final - being held in Spain. GM Magnus
          Carlsen (Norway) tops the ratings.

          To note, Levon Aronian defeated GM Michael Adams (England) in Round 5
          of the Grand Slam Chess Final and, as a result, he is the one-man
          leader of this tournament.

            ARMENIA GOT A WONDERFUL WEEK: LEVON ARONYAN

            10:15, 14 October, 2013

            YEREVAN, OCTOBER 14, ARMENPRESS: The leader of the Armenian National
            Chess Men team Levon Aronyan touched upon the latest sports events
            taking place in Armenia and the birthday anniversary of Yerevan.

            Armenpress reports that Aronyan wrote in his official Twitter page:
            "What a wonderful week it was for Armenia. I won in the Grand Slam
            tournament, the Armenian national football team won and our capital
            Yerevan has become 2975 years old".

            The Armenian chess player was taking part in the Grand Slam 6th
            tournament (Chess Masters Final) taking place on October 7-13 2013
            in Bilbao, Spain. He got 10 points and become the winner of the
            tournament.

            In the FIDE October rankings Levon Aronyan was on the third
            horizontal. The Armenian Grand Master had 2795 points.

            Aronyan was born on 6 October 1982 in Yerevan, Armenia. An early sign
            of his ability came when he won the 1994 World Youth Chess Championship
            (under-12) in Szeged with 8/9, ahead of future luminaries Etienne
            Bacrot, Ruslan Ponomariov, Francisco Vallejo Pons, and Alexander
            Grischuk. Aronyan was declared the best sportsman of Armenia in 2005
            and was awarded the title of "Honored Master of Sport of the Republic
            of Armenia" in 2009.

            Aronyan won the Chess World Cup 2005. He led the Armenian national
            team to the Gold medals in the 2006 (Turin), 2008 (Dresden) and 2012
            (Istanbul) Chess Olympics and at the World Team Chess Championship
            in Ningbo 2011. He won the FIDE Grand Prix 2008-2010, qualifying
            him for the Candidates tournament for the World Chess Championship
            2012, where he was knocked out in the first round. He was also World
            Chess960 Champion in 2006 and 2007, World Rapid Chess Champion in 2009,
            and World Blitz Chess Champion in 2010.

            Aronyan holds a diploma from the Armenian State Institute of Physical
            Culture.

            Aronyan played for Armenia in the Chess Olympiads of 1996, 2004,
            2006, 2008, and 2010. He took team bronze medal in 2004 and team
            gold medal in 2006, 2008 and 2012. In the 2010 Chess Olympiad he won
            the silver medal for his individual performance on board one. He was
            a member of the gold-medal winning Armenian team at the World Team
            Chess Championship in 2011.
