Azerbaijani grandmaster Shahriyar Mammadyarov has won the Superbet Chess Classic tournament held in the Romanian capital, Bucharest city, Trend reports on June 14.

The 36-year-old Azerbaijani chess player drew with Frenchman Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in the last round. Thus, Shahriyar Mammadyarov recorded six points to his asset and, ahead of all his rivals, became the winner of the tournament.

Another Azerbaijani chess player Teymur Rajabov drew with Armenian Levon Aronian in the last round. Teymur Rajabov finished the tournament with 4.5 points.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
