The Armenian Chess Federation invited some of today's most promising young grandmasters to play in the idyllic surroundings of Martuni at Lake Sevan. Hovhannes Gabuzyan, Samvel Ter Sahakyan, Robert Hovhannisyan and Arman Pashikian came from Armenia, Jan Krzysztof Duda (Poland), Vidit Santosh Gujrathi (India), Vladimir Onischuk (Ukraine), Vladislav Artemiev (Russia), David Anton Guijarro (Spain) and Samuel Sevian (USA) came from abroad though Sevian has Armenian roots.

After six rounds Duda, Sevian and Vidit shared the lead with 4.0/6 each. But in the seventh round Duda was beaten by Onischuk and lost ground. In round eight Vidit won the crucial duel against Sevian to become sole leader with 5.5/8. (It is not entirely clear why and how Samuel Sevian lost. According to the official game score Sevian is better in the final position but maybe he lost on time.)
But he drew the last round which allowed Artemiev, who won with Black against Hovhnisyan, to catch up to the Indian.
