    ARMENIAN MEN'S CHESS TEAM WINS AGAIN

    Tert

    Armenia

    Yesterday the Armenian men's chess team competed with the team from
    Azerbaijan in the 7th round of European Chess Team Championship in
    Novi Sad (2.5-1.5).

    Levon Aronian playing with black on the first board ended the game
    with Teimour Radjabov in a draw at the 19th step. On the second board,
    Vladimir Akopian and Vugar Gashimov's game also ended in a draw. Our
    grandmaster was playing white and the game ended at the 46th step.

    The Gadir Guseinov-Gabriel Sargissian and Tigran Petrosian-Shakhriyar
    Mamedyarov games lasted long. Sargissian managed to defeat Guseinov.

    The Armenian grandmaster gained the advantage with a pawn and his
    opponent gave up at the 70th move.

    On the fourth board, Petrosian also had an advantage of one pawn,
    but his game with Mamedyarov ended in a draw, officially sealing the
    Armenian men's team's victory.

    Armenian men's chess team had defeated Azerbaijan a year ago as well,
    during the chess Olympiad (2.5-1.5). At that time, it was Akopian
    who defeated Mamedyarov.

    With this match, Armenia has caught up to Azerbaijan: both teams have
    a score of 11 in the championship thus far. Russia, who beat Georgia
    yesterday, also has 11 scores in the championship.

    At the moment, Russian team is in the lead with additional indicators,
    while Armenia is in second place with Azerbaijan in the third.
