Tigran Gyozalyan





FIDE Trainer | FIDE Master



Tigran had interest in chess since 3 years old and had a dream of becoming a powerful chess player. He had been actively playing chess until 1993. Since then, he focused on coaching because he realised that he had missed his chance of becoming a great chess player and therefore, he decided to coach others to become great chess players. In 2003, his student, Samvel Ter-Sahakyan (Ter-Saakyan), whom he coached since 5 years old became Champion of European Youth Chess Championship, U10. At 14 years old, he obtained 1 point of GM norm. At 16, he became GM and was the youngest person to become GM in Armenia. Tigran is also the author of A Strategy of The King Play which has recently been published in Russia.


Tigran is a professional chess trainer and he has been working in Singapore since 2005 after being invited by the president of Singapore Chess Federation. He chose to work in Singapore because international chess is well-developed by Singapore Chess Federation and Singaporeans have shown great passion for chess. He likes Singapore and lives with his family. He has two daughters, Narine and Shushanik. Narine graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, holding onto Diploma in Fine Arts while Shushanik is currently studying Business Management in Nanyang Polytechnic.


This website is created by Shushanik. Tigran will share more information about himself in his blog and his company's Facebook page which are personally being managed by him.


In the picture on the right, Tigran is with his student, Chan Jin Zhen, who is only 8 years old but has recently occupied 2nd position in 32nd National Age Group Chess Championships 2015 U10. As you can see, hard work and sweat are paid off!

Tigran's Trainers





His first trainer was Norayr Evinian. He was very responsible as he was always well-prepared for lessons. He deepened Tigran's interest in the end games.

His second trainer was Lazarus Sargsian. He was one of the best chess players in 1950s and was Tigran Petrosian's friend. He was a wise man from whom Tigran Gyozalyan has received life lessons. It was a great pleasure to interact with such a great teacher.

In Moscow, when he was studying in the university, he has received a great knowledge from Boris Zlotnik.

In the last two years of his education, where chess trainers were prepared to receive Coach of Highest Qualification in Physical Education, Chess, he was grateful to have Nikita Alexeev as his mentor who is responsible for all Tigran's achievements. He had a significant impact on Tigran's life and career in chess.
