Shant Sargsyan believed in the opportunity of winning the gold medal after the 9th round of U16 World Youth Championship.
“All the pairings were tough, while my competitors were fighting till the end. However, I would mention the pairing with Uzbek player in the 9th round, when I was playing the black. I was able to register victory and strengthen my position. I believed that I could win at that moment,” the chess player told.
He noted that they had trainings in Tsaghkadzor before the competition and worked well on physical preparedness: “That is why I didn’t feel tiredness during the competition, so it was easy to play chess for so many hours.”
Sargsyan will participate with Armenia’s U16 team in World Chess Olympiad from November 24.
