  • Genocídio Armênio Foi Construído Nas Colinas De Tsitsernakaberd Acima Do Cânion De Hrazdan , Em Erevan
    Հայաստան ARMÊNIA EREVAN (CAPITAL) MAPA ARMÊNIA ARMÊNIA GERAL • A Armênia (português europeu) ou Armênia (português brasileiro) (em arménio Հայաստան , transl. Hayastan , ou Հայք , Hayq ), denominada oficialmente de República da Armênia , é um país localizado numa região montanhosa na Eurásia, entre o mar Negro e o mar Cáspio, no sul do Cáucaso. • Animal simbolo é a águia. • Faz fronteira com a Turquia a oeste, Geórgia ao norte, Azerbaijão a leste, e com o Irã e com o enclave de Nakhchivan (pertencente ao Azerbaijão) ao sul. Apesar de geograficamente estar inteiramente localizada na Ásia, a Armênia possui extensas relações sociopolíticas e culturais com a Europa. • Foi a menor das repúblicas da extinta União Soviética . A Armênia configura-se num estado unitário, multipartidário , democrático, com uma antiga herança histórica e cultural. Historicamente foi a primeira nação a adotar o cristianismo como religião de Estado em 301. A Armênia é constitucionalmente um estado secular, tendo a fé cristã uma grande identificação com o povo. O país é uma democracia emergente e por causa de sua posição estratégica, tenta conciliar alianças com a Rússia e com o Oriente Médio . • Entre 1915 e 1923 sofreu o que os historiadores consideram o primeiro genocídio do século XX, perpetrado pelo Império Otomano e negado até hoje pela República da Turquia . As mortes são estimadas em 1,5 milhão de armênios e a deportação de milhões de outros, fazendo com que a Armênia tenha uma diáspora gigantesca pelo mundo, de descendentes que fugindo das perseguições, tomaram o rumo de países como França, EUA , Argentina, Brasil, Líbano e muitos outros.

  • Emirate of UAE with More Than Thirty Years of Chess Organizational Experience
    DUBAI Emirate of UAE with more than thirty years of chess organizational experience. Many regional, continental and worldwide tournaments have been organized since the year 1985: The World Junior Chess Championship in Sharjah, UAE won by Max Dlugy in 1985, then the 1986 Chess Olympiad in Dubai won by USSR, the Asian Team Chess Championship won by the Philippines. Dubai hosted also the Asian Cities Championships in 1990, 1992 and 1996, the FIDE Grand Prix (Rapid, knock out) in 2002, the Arab Individual Championship in 1984, 1992 and 2004, and the World Blitz & Rapid Chess Championship 2014. Dubai Chess & Culture Club is established in 1979, as a member of the UAE Chess Federation and was proclaimed on 3/7/1981 by the Higher Council for Sports & Youth. It was first located in its previous premises in Deira–Dubai as a temporarily location for the new building to be over. Since its launching, the Dubai Chess & Culture Club has played a leading role in the chess activity in UAE, achieving for the country many successes on the international, continental and Arab levels. The Club has also played an imminent role through its administrative members who contributed in promoting chess and leading the chess activity along with their chess colleagues throughout UAE. “Sheikh Rashid Bin Hamdan Al Maktoum Cup” The Dubai Open championship, the SHEIKH RASHID BIN HAMDAN BIN RASHID AL MAKTOUM CUP, the strongest tournament in Arabic countries for many years, has been organized annually as an Open Festival since 1999, it attracts every year over 200 participants. Among the winners are Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (in the edition when Magnus Carlsen made his third and final GM norm at the Dubai Open of 2004), Wang Hao, Wesley So, or Gawain Jones.

  • Schachgesellschaft 1868-Aljechin Solingen E.V
    www.schachgesellschaft.de - Schachgesellschaft 1868-Aljechin Solinge... file:///C:/Users/Marius%20Fraenzel/Documents/Webpages/schachgesel... Schachgesellschaft 1868-Aljechin Solingen e.V. Reise-Tagebuch vom European Club Cup 2006 in Fügen von Oliver Kniest Samstag, 07.10.2006: Anreise nach Fügen Um 9.00 Uhr beginnt das Unternehmen »Europacup« für die Mannschaft der SG 1868-Aljechin Solingen. Erstmalig seit 1992 nimmt ein Team unseres Vereins an diesem Wettbewerb teil. Während sich in früheren Zeiten der Europacup in klassischem Hin- und Rückspielmodus über zwei Jahre hinzog, findet er seit 2000 als Turnier im Schweizer System innerhalb einer Woche statt und erfreut sich steigender Beliebtheit. Von absoluten Weltklasseteams mit einem Elo-Schnitt um 2700 bis hin zu reinen Amateurmannschaften ohne Elo-Träger ist alles vertreten. Aus Deutschland sind neben unserer Equipe noch Werder Bremen und die Schachfreunde Berlin am Start. Während die Werderaner fast mit ihrem besten Bundesligapersonal antreten und somit zu den Topmannschaften gehören, nutzen die Berliner den Europapokal traditionell zum Einspielen auf die Bundesligasaison. Unsere Mannschaft dürfte sich im Mittelfeld des Turniers bewegen. Mit Alexander ,aumann, Sipke Ernst und Michael Hoffmann stehen nur drei Bundesligaspieler im Kader, die durch Jörg Wegerle, Markus Schäfer, Martin Becker, Oliver Kniest und Andreas Peschel ergänzt werden. Auf diese Weise soll die Teilnahme an der »Champions League« des Schachs auch ein wenig als Belohnung für den sensationellen Erfolg im Deutschen Mannschaftspokal und die geleistete Organisationsarbeit für den Verein dienen. Dennoch sind natürlich auch sportliche Ziele vorhanden: Sipke Ernst (GM) sowie Jörg Wegerle und Martin Becker (IM) sind auf der Jagd nach der finalen Norm für den endgültigen Titelerwerb, da im Europapokal ausnahmsweise auch Titelnormen in einem siebenrundigen Turnier möglich sind.
