Yuriy Ajrapetjan

Yuriy Ajrapetjan (Armenian: Յուրի Հայրապետյան; born 18 April 1988 in Yerevan) is a Ukrainian chess player of Armenian descent.[1]

He studied at Tavrida National V.I. Vernadsky University in Simferopol and works at a bank.

He was awarded the FIDE International Master title in February 2005[2] and the Grandmaster title in January 2008.

Best results: 1st at Simferopol 2004; 2nd at the Crimea Championship 2006; 1st at Simferopol 2007; 1st at Alushta Spring 2007; 1st at Alushta Autumn 2007. At Alushta he acquired his norms for obtaining the title Grandmaster. Since those only appeared in the FIDE rating of January 2008 he had to wait until January 2008 to be rewarded the Grandmaster title, because he did not have rating needed for the title until then.[3]

His best Elo rating was 2537 in July 2009.
