Armenian chess players win only "tickets" at European Championships
The European Individual Chess Championship came to its end in Batumi. In the last round today, our three chess players Robert Hovhannisyan, Arman Pashikyan and Hrant Melkumyan ended their games and scored 7.5 points each. They eventually took 9th-32th places. The champion of Europe Ivan Saricz was declared European champion, who scored 8.5 points out of 11 and went ahead of all competitors. The 2nd place was occupied by Radoslav Vojtasek from Poland and Sanan Syugirov from Russia. As we know, 23 were also played in the championship. Robert Hovhannisyan and Arman Pashikian won the "tickets" to the World Chess Cup, and Hrant Melkumyan was in the 25th place, so he was not in the list.
