| maxi: Years ago, I was in my early thirties, my brother died, at the young age of 28, in a car accident. There is something obscene in the death of the young. Parents should not have to bury their children. |

| malthrope: That's so true <maxi> - <"Parents should not have to bury their children."> I'm truly sorry for the loss of your brother. I, like you, remember well when my late mom, Dorothy, told me the worst thing that a parent bereaves is the sad loss of one of their children... The 'Chess Giants' Rapids Chess tourney has now been postponed for two days (Round #2 play resumes on June 12th). It's not only the right move - it's the only move... Regards, - Mal |

| maxi: Thank you, Malthrope. I was struck by Asrian's age, also 28. My family was changed forever, and neither of my parents really ever recovered. |

| dazone3: Does anyone have any idea why chessbase has neglected to report this news? They had three articles up yesterday, and three today, and nary a reference to this tragedy. |

| DUS: <dshxouhi> Thank you for the link. Grandmaster Karen Asrian left both as Olympic Champion and Champion of Armenia. May he rest in peace. |

| dazone3: Thank you, <DUS>. For some reason that wasn't coming up when I went to chessbase.com. This man was an immensely strong chessplayer (stronger than anyone who kibitzes on this site, save maybe Nigel Short). He spent a lifetime devoted to the game, and it was tragically cut short. A reminder not to waste a single moment, and to be grateful for the time you have. Any single person could go in a similar fashion at any time. |

| Atking: I want to congratulate the armenian people for their dignity to have rename their tournament in the memory of their great player Asrian. |
|
| Jun-15-08 |
| DUS: <dazone3> indeed some time they do not come up. Also there are so many news each day it is not easy to find the one you need. |

| pawn to QB4: No need at all to be sorry for your postings: thanks for that link, and my best wishes to all who loved or admired Karen Asrian. The author of that sympathetic piece is an Iranian master who came to England and left a lot of good memories, at much the same time as England and chessgames' own Nigel Short was teaching in Iran. |

| Jafar219: He was good player. |
