Apr-05-07		argishti: A new Armenian prodigy? rated 2351 on the fide list. not bad.

Jun-28-07		ARMENIA: <argishti> He is beyond the prodigy level... Recently school has kept him away from the chess world. (Armenian parents are too strict and want him to have chess as a second choice in life). He has had some huge victories in his short years of playing and if more time devoted I believe much more is to come:) God Bless Armenia

Jul-02-07		ARMENIA: He has a perfect score in seven rounds played so far and two more to go. He has 7 out of 7! I will let it sink it a second...:) God Bless Armenia

Sep-21-07		argishti: Wow, lets hope this kid get up to Aronian, cause it would be nice to have 3 people at the super-GM level. :)

Jan-15-08		BIDMONFA: Samvel Ter Sahakyan TER-SAHAKYAN, Samvel http://www.bidmonfa.com/ter_sahakya... _

Jan-18-08		DUS: Congrats to young chess player Samvel Ter-Sahakyan! All the best and new great victories! <Young chess player Samvel Ter-Sahakyan after completing an International Master norm also fulfilled a Grandmaster norm after the 9th round of the 68th Armenian Championship. This is an unprecedented case in the rich history of Armenian chess, when a 14-year-old player fulfills a GM norm.> http://armchess.am/

May-02-08		DUS: I think in Plovdiv 2008 Europinan Individual Chess Championship the most impressive among representatives of Armenia was young (14 or 15) FM Samvel Ter-Sahakyan, who has 7 points, 5 victories perhaps all against GMs! I hope soon he will get a GM title and will be a member of Armenian national team. Perhaps he will play on board # 4 (#1 Levon Aronian, #2 Vladimir Akopian, # 3 Gabriel Sargissian).

May-03-08		hovik2003: <DUS> He has already been granted a GM title, according to Armenian chess federation, quiet a accomplishment jumping from FM to GM (overpassing IM title) in one competition!, I think this is for first time in FIDE's history.

May-03-08		Open Defence: wow that is impressive

May-06-08		DUS: Congrats to young chess star Samvel Ter-Sahakyan! <14 year-old Armenian chess player Samvel Ter-Sahakyan achieved a Grandmaster norm at the 9th European Individual Championship held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Ter-Sahakyan had reached such an achievement for the first time in the 68th Armenian Championship in January of this year. Samvel Ter-Sahakyan will become the youngest Grandmaster in the whole Armenian chess history.> http://armchess.am/

May-06-08		DUS: The norm was 6.5 points, and Samvel had 7 points. I wish he will continue to improve as he does now. By the way, he also has a very talented chess teacher. But the most important is the player's talent of course. <Hovik>, yes he did both IM and GM norms at once, and very young. Really it is impressive.

Sep-18-08		khursh: After round four at European Youth Chess Championship his RP is 2913 http://www.chess-results.com/tnr146...

Nov-29-08		arsen387: http://armchess.am/ <28-Nov-2008 New Titles to Armenian Chess Players The FIDE Congress in Dresden awarded Grandmaster titles to two Armenian chess players, Hrant Melkumyan and 15 year-old Samvel Ter-Sahakyan (conditional). Ter-Sahakyan's title will come into force after his official Elo reaches 2500. >

Nov-29-08		ppeti84: Does he sing the song what what in the butt?

Sep-09-09		DUS: <ppeti84> I do not know the answer of your idiotic question.

Sep-09-09		DUS: Just today GM Samvel Ter-Sahakyan became European U18 Champion. Congratulations! He is 16, but has played in U18 section.

Sep-09-09		karoaper: <DUS: <ppeti84> I do not know the answer of your idiotic question.> LMAO

Sep-26-09		Tabanus: 20 more games of him here: Samvel Ter-Sahakyan. He's a GM now: http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?...
