  Penguincw: GM Sivuk held 2nd seed Sargissian to a draw in Round 1 of Aeroflot 2020, the highest seed to not win their Round 1 game. (rating difference of 132 points)

V Sivuk vs G Sargissian, 2020

Jan-08-24  cuendillar: How come none of his games from the 2023 Swedish Championship, which he won, are here? I think that victory deserves a mention in the bio too, as well as the fact that he changed federations to SWE in 2022.

Swedish Championship (2023).

Jul-10-24  Eastfrisian: He won also the Swedish Championship in 2024. Congrats.
