Armenia again Champion of World Chess Olympiad
- Monday, September 10, 11:05
Armenia is the Chess Olympiad 2012 champion. The team of Armenia - Levon Aronian, Sergei Movsesian, Vladimir Akopian, Gabriel Sargissian, and Tigran Petrosian - won the gold medals in Istanbul after collecting 19,0/22,0 Match points. This is the third Olympic title of Armenia after winning the gold in 2006
and 2008.
The multiple Olympic champion Armenia started the Chess Olympiad race as expected. Bolivia and Bangladesh fell victims to the powerful machine with 3:1 and 4:0 scores. In the next rounds Aronian beating Vallejo, Sargissian winning against Dimakiling, and again Aronian defeating Ivanchuk were just 3 game points, but were worth 6 match points in the standings. Sargissian and Akopian secured their 1/2 point early, but just then Aronian's position fell apart against Kramnik and Armenia was against the ropes. It was up to Movsesian to save the team, and after a hard struggle on board 2 Armenia got the
desired 2:2 score. The match against Russia clearly exhausted the team of Armenia, and they were up against the powerful China the next round. The hero of the previous day Movsesian was defeated and Armenia lost the match 2,5:1,5. The last round was also successful for the 2006 and 2008 Olympic champions. They defeated the team of Hungary, with Movsesian taking the full point on board 2, and won their third Olympic gold medal, chessdom.com reports.
"We won the Olympiad and I am proud to a member of such team. We are the Champions!" Levon Aronyan twitted his impressions.
In the meanwhile, women chess team of Armenia took the 6th place in the Chess Olympiad 2012 with 16 points.
It is noteworthy that FIDE has adopted a decision to hold the next Chess Olympiad 2016 in Baku. Minister of Youth and Sport Affairs of Azerbaijan Azad Ragimov guaranteed security of the players at the state level and promised visas for Armenian players. However, the Armenian party considered the guarantees unconvincing and declared that Armenia will not participate in the next Olympiad if it is held in Baku.
