Talk:Chess in Armenia

Comments to Good Article nomination
First, I'd like to congratulate all editors involved in the improvement of this article. That's what wikipedia is really about: hard work of committed editors! We can see a lot of this here. Unfortunatelly, I have no time in the next few days to read the article carefully and do my own research to confirm/dismiss any dubious point or improve it. I'll just draw some comments about my first reading. A) Does Chess_in_Armenia's section needs a lead? I think something could be write about armenian participation in previous events at soviet team. Something like, "Until 1992, armenian players participated in soviet teams. Best results were X player participating at Y year achiving Z results at board K, etc". B) I assume the article is about chess in general so, how about others forms of chess as compositions, correspondence or variants? I read at Armenian Chess Federation that Henrik Kasparian could be considered one of the greatest composers ever so, maybe some research could help to expand the article. I definitively think this article can be promoted to GA status and those minor points could be take in consideration to a FAC process. Regards!OTAVIO1981 (talk) 14:46, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

To-do list

 * mention of Asrian's death in 2008 right before the Olympiad, and how this event spurred (helped) his teammates to win another Olympic title. This would fit in better in there were some explanatory text in the Chess Olympiads subsection
 * Is there a Tigran Petrosian memorial every year?
 * The Asrian memorial is now in its sixth year. Does Armenia have a yearly open championship? If so, what's the average turnout?
 * Is the Chess Academy of Armenia notable?
