▪️ Tigran Petrosian
▪️ Chess Grandmaster

♦️Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian was a Soviet Armenian Grandmaster, and World Chess Champion from 1963 to 1969. He was nicknamed "Iron Tigran" due to his almost impenetrable defensive playing style, which emphasised safety above all else.

🔸 Full name: Tigran Vardani Petrosian
🔸 Country: Soviet Union
🔸 Born: June 17, 1929 Tiflis, Georgian SSR, Soviet Union (present-day Tbilisi, Georgia)
🔸 Died: August 13, 1984 (aged 55) Moscow, Soviet Union
🔸 Title: Grandmaster (1952)
🔸 World Champion: 1963–1969
🔸 Peak rating: 2645 (July 1972)

♦️ Petrosian was born to Armenian parents on June 17, 1929 in Tiflis, Georgian SSR (modern-day Georgia). As a young boy, Petrosian was an excellent student and enjoyed studying, as did his brother Hmayak and sister Vartoosh. He learned to play chess at the age of 8, though his illiterate father Vartan encouraged him to continue studying, as he thought chess was unlikely to bring his son any success as a career. Petrosian was orphaned during World War II and was forced to sweep streets to earn a living.
