COMPLETE FAILURE
[12:32 pm] 16 April, 2007

Armenian 12 chess players displayed rather poor participation in the
European chess championship held in Dresden.

The best results were displayed by Tigran Petrosyan, Artashes Minasyan
and Tigran Kotanjyan who secured the 45th, 48th and 61st places
respectively.

To note, Dmitri Jakovenko tops the meeting table.

Tatyana Kosintseva became the winner of the Women’s Championship; she
beat her 10 opponents thus becoming the Champion of Europe.

It is due to mention that Elina Danielyan had a brilliant chance to
move up among the Armenian sportswomen, but she was beaten by
Stefanova in the last tour and slipped back to the 20th place.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
