 | | Strongest Force: Nice game by Akopian. He made Shak look like a schmuck. |

 | | ahmadov: Yes, a well-played game by Akopian... However, Shark should not get upset after this loss because his team needs him very much to win the tournament... |

| Nov-20-08 | | muradov: I just found out that Akopian was born in Baku..yet, another student of Azerbaijan chess school (like Kasparov and so many others..), so we have a win-win situation here :) |

Among those who was born in Baku are Emil Sutovsky, Sergey Kasparov and a few more... (I do not remember now, a bit sleepy after a two day tour within the country) |

 | | Eyal: Interesting to follow the route of the white queen in this game: d2-d4-e5-g3-g6-<g4> (the novelty, instead of 21.Qd3 and Qxf7+ that were played before) - <h3> (tucking the queen at the edge of the board, to keep the pressure on e6) - <e3> (re-centralizing it) - <a7> (delivering the final blow on the other side of the board). |

| Mar-10-09 | | blacksburg: Akopian was clearly cheating here. there's no way mamedyarov would lose a fairly contested game. <3.d4> is Rybka's first line, how could Akopian possibly have found this move without computer assistance? |
|
| Aug-12-09 | | Vakus: lol <blacksburg>, i guess his assistant was Mr. Kurnosov :), u know what i mean... <Azerbaijan chess school>... lmao
<win-win situation> :))))) like this kind of win-wins, since the score is 1-0 :)) |
