Tigran Gyozalyan





FIDE Trainer | FIDE Master



Since he was three, Tigran had an interest in chess and dreamt of becoming a world-class chess player. He had been actively playing until 1993, but focused on coaching afterwards.


In 2003, his student, Samvel Ter-Sahakyan (Ter-Saakyan), whom he coached from 5 years old became Champion of the European Youth Chess Championship, U10. At 14 years old, he obtained 1 point of GM norm. At 16, he became the youngest person to become a Grandmaster in Armenia.


Tigran is a professional chess trainer and has been working in Singapore since 2005; invited by the then-president of the Singapore Chess Federation. He chose to work in Singapore because international chess was well-developed by the Singapore Chess Federation and Singaporeans have shown a great and growing passion for chess.


Tigran has also contributed to the body of chess literature through his book, A Strategy of The King Play, published in Russia. The book was translated from Russian to English and published by Mongoose Press in Boston, with a foreword by Levon Aronian.



THE KING IS A POWERFUL PIECE





Cowering in the middlegame, towering in the endgame: chess theory teaches that the king needs protection from enemy pieces until the ending, when finally it can come out from hiding to decisive effect. But what if the king can take care of itself, and even march out to battle with its army? FIDE Master and coach Tigran Gyozalyan fills a gap in the chess literature with the first systematic exploration of the king’s role and capabilities in the opening and the middlegame.
