    ARMENIA NO LONGER IN THE RUNNING FOR WORLD CHESS CUP

    Tert

    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.
