  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.

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:
