Armenia
After the end of the one hundred and twenty-eight round of the 2009
World Chess Cup tournament held in the Russian town of Khanty-Mansiysk,
Armenia has no more representatives. After Tigran L. Petrosian,
Gabriel Sargissian, too, was defeated.
Twice-Olympic champion Sargissian was defeated by China's Chao Li who
was significantly behind the Armenian chess player in ratings. The
two main games ended in a draw, and in the additional games Li gained
the advantage: 5-3.
Varuzhan Akobian, representing the US, gained the advantage over
Russia's Pavel Tregubov (9-7) and made it to the round of sixty-four.
