Tigran L. Petrosian is a 27 year old Armenian grandmaster with a current FIDE ELO of 2649 making him the 98th highest rated player in the world. “His first name was deliberately chosen by his father to match the name of the former world champion Tigran V. Petrosian who was also of Armenian descent. It happened that, when the late Tigran won the world title, Tigran’s father dreamt that if he ever had a son he would call him Tigran.” His performance really started to take off in 2002 when he won the U18 Armenian championship and won 2nd place in the World U-20 championship in 2004. These days Petrosian is rapidly rising him making him a prime candidate to break the 2700 barrier.

The Interview - Excerpt
What is next in your chess career?
In the next 10-15 years I am planning to play in many tournaments, gain more ELO rating (make it more then 2700)
Who is your favorite player and why?
Right now I don’t have any favorite player, but from the World Champions I prefer games by Cabablanca, Kasparov, and Petrosian. And now I am supporting Aronian firstly because I am Armenian, and because I know him personally and also because of his brilliant games and unusual style in chess.
