The absolute world chess champion arriving in Yerevan from Dubai, Magnus Carlsen (he also holds the World Blitz, Rapid, and Classic titles in the UAE) also met with NA MPs Samvel Farmanyan, Tachat Vardapetyan, Arayik Hovhannisyan (all three of them from RPA party), and Lyova Khachatryan (PAP) in front of the chess board. The world champion, as expected, wan the team of the MPs. However, Tachat Vardapetyan caused a real sensation to him and the audience. He could “wet” the overall score by 1:3. After the end of the tournament, Tachat Vardapetyan was excited and could not remember what turned how. He said to Aravot.am, “This is one of the brightest events in my biography, if not the brightest day and the achievement. Of course, I’m not Magnus Carlsen. Simply, the chess fortune smiled upon me, more precisely, it was too favorable to me.”
