Moscow to host Tigran Petrosian youth chess tournamentNovember 23, 2010 - 17:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On January 3-12, 2011, Moscow will host Tigran Petrosian youth chess tournament. Chess players under 14 will compete in individual and team events, armchess.am reported. Tigran Petrosian, an Armenian World Chess Champion from 1963 to 1969, was nicknamed “Iron Tigran” because of his almost impenetrable defence, which emphasised safety above all else. Petrosian, was a Candidate for the World Championship on eight occasions (1953, 1956, 1959, 1962, 1971, 1974, 1977 and 1980), winning the world championship in 1963, successfully defending his title in 1966, and losing it in 1969. Petrosian won the Soviet Championship four times (1959, 1961, 1969, and 1975). He was arguably the hardest player to beat in the history of chess.
