I have always said that Armenian chess players are brilliant, even genius. First there was Sargis Manukyan, then Armenak Yeghiazaryan and the younger players, Alex Nurijanyan, Arman Ghevondyan and Sahak Petrosyan. Those who played in Goldchess and made a name for themselves have repeatedly shown what they are capable of. They are not in the top 100, but the best chess players in the world could learn a lot from them. They have made a huge contribution to the development of Goldchess by sending their own brilliant and often genius solutions and variations. Today, Sahak found our variation from the Stockfish-Houdini position, mate with three queen sacrifices. After the third sacrifice, which was not accepted, we can already checkmate, but we can also add another 4 sacrifices and then checkmate. This is a modernisation of Stockfish’s game. And based on this game, we can safely say that Stockfish will only play like this in about 100 years, because it is still far from matching the capabilities of the human brain.
Congratulations to Sahak, the prize and the title of Goldchess Genius. See this game.
