Vice-president of Armenian Chess Federation, Yerevan Chess Federation president Ashot Vardapetyan has proposed to hold 2018 super chess tournaments in Yerevan.
“I’ve suggested the mayor that Yerevan hold 2018 chess open which will be timed to the city’s 2800th anniversary celebrations. Though discussions are currently being held, no progress has been recorded so far,” he said.
“Different cities hold chess opens; and I wonder why a city that boasts such good chess traditions as Yerevan doesn’t host such an event,” Mr. Vardapetyan said.
