Jul-16-07 | | arnaud1959: Thanks bidmonfa for the link. Some interesting points that I saw in the chronology of the Armenian Championship:
-After becoming champion in 1980, Smbat Lputian waited for 18 years to win the title once again.
-Vaganian has never been champion.
-And finally, Anastassian became champion at the age of 19 only, but never a top player. It shows how much the level of chess in Armenia is high and that one must be very talented and work hard to get to the top level. |

May-02-08 | | Whitehat1963: as hot as what? |

May-22-09 | | WhiteRook48: what did he come up with? Anastasia's mate? |

 | | GrahamClayton: Anastasian did not participate in the 2008 Armenian Chess Championship after slipping on ice and breaking his coccyx on the way to the Chess House. "I stumbled and fell on the ice on Abovian Street. The fracture is
awfully hurting now. I can neither sit nor lie. The recovery will probably last ten days." |

Oct-02-13 | | PhilFeeley: This interesting game is not here:

The rook prevents advance and the king prevents queening. Very interesting game. I'm not sure about 26. Rxf6. Perhaps the exchange sacrifice was necessary to decrease black's firepower on the king side. I don't know why white played 30. Nc5 instead of Nd6. |
