| arsen387: <GM Tigran L. Petrosian will fill the vacancy in the Armenian National Team after the untimely passing of GM Karen Asrian. This was the decision made by the Armenian Chess Federation. Thus, the Armenian Men's Team will appear for the Dresden Olympiad 2008 with the following composition: GMs Aronian, Akopian, Sargissian, Art. Minasian, T. L. Petrosian.> http://armchess.am/ |

| gars: this is a comment about horvik 2003's comment on Armenian families who have the Petrosian surname: I have been told that after T.V. Petrosian won Botvinnik in 1963 an Armenian lady had triplets and called them Tigran, Vartan and Petros. Is it true? It is funny, anyway. |

| DUS: Viva Tigran L. Petrosian!
His contribution was very important to win Dresden 2008 Chess Olympiad. I think one can call him the new "Iron Tigran" of chess. As Levon Aronian he has been a student of a famous chess specialist Melikset Khachian (GM Khachian now lives in the USA). Another similarity to Levon is that Tigran too is very stable to enormous psychological pressures and thus is very reliable player in any circumstances. |

Tigran Petrosian (no relation to the late World Champion Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian) was born in 1984 in Armenia. He was Armenian Under-18 Champion in 2002 and placed second in the World U-20 Championship in 2004. > |

| laskereshevsky: I read (a long long time ago...)
about his more famous compatriot
Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian
he was so famous and loved in Armenia that when a day happened to be borned three twins, the parents, in Honour of the Georgian/Armenian player called they TIGRAN, VARTAN and PETROS..... Somebody know something about it?! |

| Dredge Rivers: <Open Defence>
1. I was joking. I know that there are two different Petrosians. 2. Are we suddenly on a first name basis? I prefer Mr. Rivers, if you please! :) |
|
| Feb-19-09 |
| WhiteRook48: funny how they would name him the same thing as the champion, except for the middle name |
|

|
| Open Defence: <Are we suddenly on a first name basis? > depends on whether its a noun or a verb..... |

| Caissanist: I had not heard before that this Tigran was named after the first one, as implied here: http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/2... |

| I play the Fred: How many other WC namesakes have been strong chessplayers? I understand Vassily Smyslov's father, also named Vassily Smyslov, was a strong player. |

| alexmagnus: <Do you consider 2339 strong? http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?...; I think it was the Botvinnik you linked to who lost to Petrosian (from this very page) in the decisive (!) game of Children's Olympiad 1995 (won by Armenia due to this very game) |
|

| I play the Fred: Strong relative to famous players, no. Strong realtive to the general chess-playing public, yes. |

Nor was it, like Korchnoi's game against Maroczy (any further news on this, anyone?) played with the aid of a medium. It really was Mikhail Botvinnik - Tigran Petrosian, played on Board 4 in the match between Israel and Armenia during the Children's Olympiad. Mikhail Botvinnik was born in 1984 in Belarus, and emigrated to Israel with his family. Tigran Petrosian, who lives in Yerevan, was born in 1983. Neither of them are related to their famous namesakes. Thanks to New in Chess for this.> I guess they mixed the bithyears though. Botvinnik 1983 and Petrosian 1984 it is. |
