    YEREVAN, MARCH 3, NOYAN TAPAN. RA President Serzh Sargsyan, the
    Chairman of the Republican Chess Federation, receiving on March 3
    Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the Chairman of the International Chess Federation,
    the President of Kalmykia, was pleased to say that the latter's every
    visit to Armenia becomes a start for a new practical program. He
    also said that it is time to realize the agreements reached during
    the 38th World Chess Olympiad in Dresden.

    K. Ilyumzhinov once more congratulated the Armenian national team on
    the occasion of its brilliant victory in the World Chess Olympiad and
    welcomed the authorities' efforts aimed at chess development. He also

    and to make it more popular. In that context the idea of building
    Chess a Chamber in Yerevan was discussed. In general, the idea was
    approved. Teaching of chess as an optional subject at schools was
    also spoken about.

    According to the report of the RA President's Press Office, the
    interlocutors also touched upon the preparation for the Grand Prix
