Armenia won the 8th World Team Championship in Ningbo China 2011.
Congratulations to the Armenian team, the only one who did not suffer a loss.
Can Chess “Build the Country’s Future?”
Officials in Armenia think chess can ensure success for the next generation. It is slated to become a mandatory subject in Armenian elementary schools when the new academic year begins in the fall.

Chess is already considered a national obsession. “There is not a single parent in Armenia who wouldn’t like their child to learn how to play chess,” asserted Narine Hovhannisian, director of the Ministry of Education and Science’s Department of Secondary Education. “Chess is the right thing for us Armenians.”
Not all Armenian chess instructors agree that making the game a mandatory school subject is the best way to produce world-class players.
“Chess will develop children’s logic, memory, imagination and willpower, their ability to think,”
