Armenian GM Tigran L. Petrosian scored 7 points out of 9 and shared
1st-2nd places together with GM Yuriy Kuzubov (Ukraine) at a great
open that was held in Abu Dhabi, UAE. As reports "Artsakhpress" citing
the Chess Federation of Armenia, by the tie-break Petrosian took the
second prize. He raised his Elo for 10 points. 70 chess players
participated in the tournament among them there were 35 grandmasters.
Tigran L. Petrosian is an Armenian chess player who holds the title of
grandmaster (2002). Tigran L. Petrosian was born on 17 September 1984.
His first name was deliberately chosen by his father to match the name
of Tigran V. Petrosian, first Armenian who became the World Champion.
When the late Tigran won the world title, Tigran's father dreamt that
if he ever had a son he would call him Tigran.
The ex-world champ died a month before Tigran L. Petrosian was born.
Petrosian learned chess at the age of five. He received coaching from
Gagik Sargissian and Melikset Khachiyan before entering a chess
academy in 2002, where he was occasionally instructed by GM Arsen
Yegiazarian and IM Ashot Nadanian. Petrosian achieved his grandmaster
title by scoring norms at the under 18 World Championship in 2002, the
Batumi Open in 2003, and the Aeroflot Open in Moscow in 2004. In the
same year he tied for 2nd-3rd with Zhao Jun in the World Junior Chess
Championship in Kochi, India. In 2005, he tied for first in Tehran,
Kish and Lausanne; in 2006 tied for first in Lyonand Dubai; in 2008
tied for first in Wheeling and Las Vegas. In the same year he won a
team gold medal (together with Levon Aronian, Vladimir Akopian,
Gabriel Sargissian and Artashes Minasian) at the 38th Chess Olympiad
in Dresden. In 2011, Petrosian tied for 1st-3rd with Marat Dzhumaev
and Anton Filippov in the Georgy AgzamovMemorial in Tashkent and won
the event on tie-break. In the same year he won the first Armenian
Chess960Championship, tied for 2nd-4th with Abhijeet Gupta and Magesh
Panchanathan in the third Orissa International GM Open Chess
Tournament and came first in the 31st Villa de Benasque Open. In
January 2012 Petrosian won the Armenian Chess Championship and in
February 2012 came first in the Armenian Rapid Championship. In
January 2013 he won the Armenian Chess Championship for the second
time. He also won clear first prize in International "Grand Europe
Open Albena-2013" in Bulgaria. Tigran plays on the Internet Chess Club
(ICC) under the pseudonym "Tigrano".
