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

| Jan-13-10 | | 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) |
|
| Jan-14-10 | | 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. |

 | | Fusilli: World champion Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian died in 1984, and <Tigran L. Petrosian> was born in 1984. Was he named Tigran as a tribute to his recently deceased namesake? We don't know what day he was born, do we? (the former World Champion died in August.) But Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian died of cancer, so maybe his death was predictable. |
|
| Feb-10-11 | | paavoh: @fusilli: <...maybe his death was predictable> Isn't everybody's? At least in the long run... |
|
| Mar-13-11 | | gars: To <laskereshevsky>: you certaily read the story of Tigran, Vartan and Petros in Life Magazine, didn't you? That was in 1969, when Spassky was challenging Petrosian for the second time. |

 | | FSR: In case anyone doubts the existence of rating inflation, this fellow - no doubt a fine player - has a current rating of 2657. The peak rating of his more famous namesake, Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian, in this database was just 2645. |
|
Oct-01-12
| | RookFile: I'm sure the current Petrosian would not claim superiority over the champ. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: A lot of Petrosians in Armenia? Must be one of those Smith/Jones names for the central asian folks. |
|

| | alexmagnus: The champ's was in decline though when ratings were introduced. |
|
Oct-18-12
 | | perfidious: <alexmagnus> Same as many others; Smyslov peaked at 2620 in July 1971, to name only one great player. If Elo had been used by FIDE in the 1950s, scary to think where he would have been. |
