Jul-27-05  stijn: This player is also extremely talented,he is 17 y.o. and he has a rating of almost 2600. But the strange thing is that he hasn't played any official games in the last two years.

<7. Set Upon at the Seaside

Despite its decline in status over the years, Hastings is still a Mecca for many foreign players, who are pleased to visit such a legendary chess venue. However, the young Azeri GM, Farhad Tahirov, may have ended up rather regretting his appearance at the Sussex seaside town in 2006-7. He played poorly, losing a hatful of rating points. Then, halfway through the event, he was seen to be suffering with a painful skin rash on his hands, and had to visit a doctor, who diagnosed some kind of eczema-type condition.

But worst of all was what happened after the last round. Having a couple of hours to kill before the prize-giving, he decided to take a walk along the seafront. Unfortunately, he passed by a particularly dodgy pub, frequented by various skinheads and other charmers, several of whom attacked and robbed him. He lost almost £1,000 in cash, plus a mobile phone and camera, as well as ending up in hospital for treatment to his injuries.

Strangely, he has not played at Hastings since...>

Mar-13-21  cheatershunter: It is curious that nobody pointed out that this guy was just a fake GM. Earning elo and titles in Afromeev's tournaments. Everytime he tried to play normal tournaments he just showed his real strengh (around 2300).

I have no skin in this game, but do you have any source to back up this accusation? According to the bio, he made GM at 15. At that age it's pretty hard to say that someone is cheating. There are so many talented kids, and there is less of an incentive to cheat because they are improving and have prospects. From what I read, the case against Afromeev was largely built on his age... too late in life to show the spectacular improvement he showed.

Same as Rausis, as well as the event in the 1990s where Azmaiparashvili ran up an enormous score and boosted his Elo into the 2650+ class.
