    Very sad news indeed. He must have had some kind of congenital heart defect to die that young. It must have been very difficult for fellow Armenians Aronian, Sargissian, and Akopian to play chess today, hence the very short draws in round 2 of the Yerevan Chess Giants tournament.

        Very sad indeed. I remember him!

        Inside Chess subscribers will find an article on Asrian and Aronian (amongst other subjects) in Inside Chess, 1996, Issue 25. It includes a win by Asrian en route to his gold medal on board 5, as a 16-year-old, at the Yerevan Olympiad.
