  Penguincw: Congrats to young M Amin Tabatabaei for remaining one of just 5 players still perfect at the Nakhchivan Open. He is the only FM player to hold this honour (the rest are 3 GMs and an IM). He entered the tournament as the 30th seed at 2420. To get to 2/2, he beat WFM Nino Khomeriki (2228) with black and then GM Luka Paichadze with white. However, tomorrow he has to face 2nd seed super-GM Etienne Bacrot (2704) with <black>. Good luck!

Premium Chessgames Member
  Penguincw: Like expected, he lost against Bacrot, but rebounded with white wins in R4 (against 9th seed Baklan) and R6 (5th seed Mamedov). Overall, he finished with 4.5/9 (+4,-4,=1) and 32nd place. He also gained 13.7 rating points. In addition to a 2544 TPR, it should be good enough for an IM norm.

Not quite. :)

And so we return to check on this guy in 2021. :)

  OhioChessFan: I don't know if it's 100% true, but I've noticed that if you aren't winning all your age group World Championships, you aren't going to be elite. The 2nd in the U14 was the clue here. I might take a look at the current top 10.

  OhioChessFan: That didn't take long. I started with Carlsen, and his age group record isn't all that great.

Then it's not true. ;)

Regardless, Happy Birthday Tabatabaei.

I am 100% sure Amin will win this match.

  Check It Out: Days after the lawsuit settlement, Carlsen throwing shade at Niemann:

<Carlsen in the post-game interview stated: "I do hope for my opponent [Tabatabaei] today [Aug 31, 2023]... that even though the last two games weren't so good, perhaps with some changes, you know, some new people to work with, better influences, maybe he can play even better."

"Are you talking about Hans Niemann right now?" commentator Sachdev asked, to which he responded: "I am talking about influences in general" with a smile.>

Aug-31-23  EvanTheTerrible: Personally, I hate it.

  perfidious: Make no mistake: Carlsen is a great champion, but rather less admirable as a human being.

  perfidious: Rest assured that if I ever meet Carlsen at the table, he will be given no quarter--nor do I expect any.

Away from there, I choose my friends.
