Chess in Armenia[edit]

(

... that in Armenia, chess is one of the country's most popular sports?

Reviewed. Article was created 19/9/12. Conforms to WP:POLICY, and is long enough - Prose size tool -> 5359 B (850 words) "readable prose size". The article is well-referenced. I like the short hook, it is eye-catching. The picture is less so. In the absence of a ninja chess-board-wielding Armenian, I think there are probably more photogenic options for a DYK hook. However, I whole-heartedly endorse this as a text-hook DYK. Geoffjw1978 ^T^L^C 22:24, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! And I know the picture isn't that great, but that's the only free picture I found.--Երևանցի _{ասելիք կա՞} 01:02, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Comment: I altered the hook slightly to make more sense. Rcsprinter (state) @ 15:48, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
