Nov-20-05    Eastfrisian: He is a Belarus-citizen and born on 19.05.1983, but all in all not known well. This year he played in Pardubice and finished as third. Feb-23-06    BIDMONFA: Sergei Azarov AZAROV, Sergei http://www.bidmonfa.com/azarov_serg... _ May-19-10    wordfunph: GM Azarov peaked at 2630 though his current card is 2609.. http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev... he may not be as popular as other GMs but his rating can be intimidating.. happy 27th birthday Sergei! Mar-25-12    twinlark: He has improved since then and is right up there on the leader board of the EICC after 7 rounds. Mar-27-12    notyetagm: Azarov has won 5(!) games in a row to take the sole lead at the 13th EICC after 7 rounds with a 6/7 score. 13th European Individual Championship (2012)/Sergei Azarov Mar-27-12    Penguincw: After 7 rounds of play, Azarov is the only lead, with 6 points. Twelve are half a point back. Could he become the first player from Belarus (I assume) to win the tournament? Tomorrow, he has black against Vladimir Malakhov. Oct-27-12    GrahamClayton: Finished =1st with Sergey Erenburg at the 2012 Continental Class Championship in Arlington, VA in October 2012: http://www.chessdom.com/sergei-azar... Dec-05-12    Open Defence: very interesting player could be one to look out for
