GM Melik Annotates
By GM Melikset Khachiyan
July 25, 2008
Armenian born, LA based GM Melikset Khachiyan annotates his most
interesting game from the Pacific Coast Open (Agoura Hills, July
17-20.) Khachiyan shared first with Shankland, Sevillano and
Aghasaryan, which you can read about in Jerry Hanken’s thorough
tournament report. Melikset moved to the U.S. in 2001 and is as proud
of his coaching as his GM title. A quote by his former student,
super-GM Levon Aronian, who has ranked as high as #3 in the world,
should explain why. "It was Khachiyan who took me as a third-category
player and made me an IM." Find out more about Melikset’s life and
lessons on his homepage, gmmelik.com.
