May-05-08    Whitehat1963: Is he Ameri-can? May-06-08    hitman84: Nope. He just has an American sounding name. May-06-08    alexmagnus: Yes, He Can! May-06-08    ahmadov: <hitman84: Nope. He just has an American sounding name.> He is definitely a Turk with his name and surname. Interestingly, many Turkish names can be used for puns... I never thought anyone would read this as "can" as an English word, instead of "jan" as Turkish... :-) May-06-08    hitman84: <ahmadov>Yes I got know he is a turk. I know a player called Emre who plays football for Turkey. The captain of the Turkish football team has a nice name for puns. :) Another pun of a footballer E-Lan ManSiege May-06-08    hitman84: Here is something for Blackburn Rovers fans.. Kerimoglu toogay May-06-08    alexmagnus: < I never thought anyone would read this as "can" as an English word, instead of "jan" as Turkish...> The beautiful thing about English language is that when you write something it's up to you how you pronounce it. That makes plenty of room for pronounciation-based puns which are impossible in other languages. May-07-08    ahmadov: <hitman84><The captain of the Turkish football team has a nice name for puns. :)> Do you mean Hakan Sukur? Jan-06-10    ILikeFruits: who can... e can... Jan-06-10    sulotas: <ahmadov> I guess <hitman> refers to Emre Belezoglu, the current captain of Turkish national team, who played for Inter Milan and Newcastle United for some many years. 'Can' (pronounced as "dzan") means 'life' in Turkish. By the way, Hakan Sukur is retired in 2008. Jan-08-10    swordfish: Nice victory over Yuri Shulman in the World Teams. Sep-21-10    alexmagnus: Today he lost against a 1736. Missed mate in 1. BTW the bio is wrong. He is a GM now. Sep-21-10    frogbert: so, emre can blunder mate in one. Sep-26-10    alexmagnus: BTW when you search "can", you get "no player found". Feb-15-12    Jason Frost: Just won Aeroflot B, with a commanding 7.5/9 and 2728 performance. Feb-16-12    Penguincw: Congratz to Can for winning the Aeroflot 2012 (Group B). May not receive as much attention, but still an interesting tournament. Feb-20-13    BIDMONFA: Emre Can CAN, Emre http://www.bidmonfa.com/can_emre.htm _
