Armenia’s Gevorg Harutjunyan finished second in his section of the Hotel Stockholm North by First Hotels Young Talent chess series, while Sargis Manukyan and Hamlet Antonyan finished third in their respective sections.
The series took place in Sweden from 26 October to 31, 2026. Each section used a round-robin format, in which each player faces every other player in the section.
| Player and title | Section | Place | Points out of 9 | Rating points gained |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grandmaster Gevorg Harutjunyan | GM2610-3110 - I | 2nd | 5.5 | 17 |
| FIDE Master Sargis Manukyan | GM2610-3110 - II | 3rd | 6 | 37 |
| Candidate Master Hamlet Antonyan | IM2610-3110 | 3rd | 6 | 50 |
Harutjunyan also coaches Antonyan.
The Chess Federation of Armenia said Manukyan fulfilled his third and final International Master (IM) norm and crossed the required rating threshold of 2,400. A norm is a qualifying tournament performance that must meet standards for both the player’s results and the strength of the opposition.
The federation said Antonyan crossed the rating threshold of 2,300 required for the FIDE Master (FM) title. Unlike the IM title, the FM title does not require norms.
FIDE, the international chess governing body, awards these titles. Meeting the performance requirements is the qualification milestone; receiving the title requires FIDE’s award.
