World Cup: Competitors of Armenians in 2nd round known
 
 
The pairings of the second round of FIDE World Cup will be held today in Khanty-Mansiysk.
 
The competitors of the Armenian representatives are already known. In the second round Levon Aronian will play the black against Parham Maghsoodloo (Iran), and Sergey Movsisyan will play the black against Ding Liren (China).
 
The cup will be held in knockout format, and the ones defeated will leave the competition. The first 2 games of the competitors will be classical, and then the rapid and blitz games will start in case of equal scores.
Emil Lazarian: “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
