Jun-17-04    Benzol: Anyone know anything about the player of the day? Jun-17-04    acirce: He's a Moroccan GM rated 2544 and will be playing in FIDE Libya WC. Jun-17-04    Benzol: <acirce> Thanks, it will be interesting to see how he goes. Jun-17-04    600POUNDGORILLA: Rated 2544? is he in the top 128 in ratings? Jun-17-04    acirce: Nope, he isn't. Far from it. May-09-05    sfm: http://www.google.com/search?source... :-) Jun-01-06    Honza Cervenka: Hamdouchi's performance in Torino after 10 rounds - 6,5 of 8 games without loss or 2719 is not bad at all. But next round he will face probably Kiril Georgiev, who seems to be in very good form too. It can be quite interesting game. Dec-26-06    BIDMONFA: Hichem Hamdouchi HAMDOUCHI, Hichem http://www.bidmonfa.com/hamdouchi_h... _ Mar-20-07    LIFE Master AJ: Who is BIDMONFA ... and what is this endless series of links he posts? (Isn't this kind of like SPAM?) Mar-22-07    Colonel Mortimer: Yes - a bit like all the links you keep pasting. Aug-22-07    Karpova: The strongest african player won the 15th Saint-Affrique International Open in France with 8 points ahead of Degraeve (who won the event last year). His wife seems to have participated also (Adina-Maria Hamdouchi from Romania)? Here's a report: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
