< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-20-07    Karpova: Report on and interview with GM Adly: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... <I read in a German chess magazine that several years ago you were playing in a tournament in Nigeria, and that all the participants got malaria. Is it true that you survived because your next tournament was in Greece and you had access to a good hospital? <Yes, unfortunately. It happened at the African Olympic games. I was very sick and almost died. I was 60 kgs before contracting malaria and 32 kgs after. So you can imagine how bad it was. This stopped me from playing good chess for two years. However, I was more upset to lose two of my team mates, who were less ill than I was. I thank God I am still alive.>> Nov-20-07    sallom89: he must be rated 2650+ in no time ,i was totally shocked of some games that he played. Just awesome. Nov-21-07    superuser171: Thanks for the link Karpova. It's nice to see chessbase having an article about Adly.. Nov-21-07    hovik2003: It is good to see that Arabs are playing chess again, a game was played and flourished in Baghdad courts during muslem rule of MiddleEast from 7th-13th century on. Nov-22-07    pawnofdoom: Adly is going to play in the 2007 FIDE World Cup. I hope he does well. He was chosen as a player from Africa. Though he is rated pretty low, beign only 2500 compared to all the other 2600s and 2700s there, he should fare well. Nov-26-07    papynchase: He just drew with Black against Kamsky in 83 moves. A chessbase caption of the picture of them playing against each other, "Kamsky managing just a draw...", sounds very belittling. Nov-26-07    ahmadov: Unfortunately, this guy did not qulify... I wanted to root for him... Nov-26-07    Udit Narayan: <papynchase> Chessbase are always biased. Dec-10-07    Eti fan: GM Ahmed Adly wins the Egyptian chess championship http://www.chessdom.com/news/adly-e... Dec-10-07    cotdt: this guy was able to fight kamsky to a draw, which is better than what carlsen was able to accomplish! Dec-26-07    superuser171: Here's a link to a nice video interview with Ahmed Adly..he seems to be a cheerful guy.. http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.c...

Did not participate in 2008. Egyptian champion again in July 2009: http://www.chess-results.com/tnr236... Jan-11-10    Raisin Death Ray: His friends call him AA. Feb-19-12    Penguincw: Happy Birthday! Aug-08-13    DoctorD: Looks like he might not make the World Cup: http://www.thechessdrum.net/blog/20... Apr-20-15    waustad: Today he would have had to hold a draw against Maxim Rodstein a pawn down for Egypt to defeat Israel in the World Team Chess Championship. He was unable to hold so they split, 2-2. Egypt is tied for last with only one match point with USA and Russia. Nobody has 4 match points after only 2 rounds, so it is still pretty much up for grabs. May-21-16    offramp: Incredible that chess has actually saved a life: Ahmed Adly (kibitz #20). Dec-27-16    ketchuplover: Drawn goes Nakamura! Jan-02-18    alfamikewhiskey: 13/21 i the Blitz WC 2017, and above for instance Nepomniachtchi is an excellent result for the Egyptian. Feb-19-25    offramp: Did you read about poor GM Ahmed Adly ? He got very sick and lost weight, sadly. It was a virulent type of malaria That affected the Lagos (Nigeria) area But he's now recovered, gladly. search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing>
