ahmadov Member since Apr-10-05 · Last seen Apr-15-13 Zahir Ahmadov, Baku, Azerbaijan. I used to spend more time on this web site some years ago mostly because I found cg.com as a great resource from where I could learn a lot of chess. Then, this web site became part of my life as I found very good friends through it (the title of the forum is no co-incidence). It has always been very nice to communicate with these friends, among whom I would name <Switch>, <brankat>, <kuda>, <tarlan>, <lostemperor> etc. I think virtual friendship is missing something important in human communication, which encouraged me to meet some of these people in real life, both in Azerbaijan and overseas. Currently, I am having time constraints to spend time on this forum, but my recent extension of premium membership encourages me to take measures to be present here more frequently. Lets see if this will be possible in the near future. [27 May 2012] @@@@@@ Back to some active participation on this web site after almost a year... [27 May 2011]

Apr-02-13 ahmadov chessforum   ahmadov: Yes, that is true. Sometimes I lose because I am too optimistic about positions that look tempting, but do not give much play, the one we have just discussed.      Apr-02-13 Teimour Radjabov    ahmadov: Come on guys, everybody has ups and downs in his/her chess career. Do not forget that Ivanchuk won against Carlsen when everybody was thinking that he failed completely in this tournament. I am sure Radja will come back again soon.      Apr-02-13 SwitchingQuylthulg chessforum    ahmadov: I have looked through a couple of pages on your forum and I see you get a lot of congratulations! You must get a lot of support from Nuklu in order to be successful lately :-)      Apr-02-13 brankat chessforum    ahmadov: How are you <brankat>?      Apr-01-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    ahmadov: So many conspiracy theories here. Do people really believe them?      Apr-01-13 Carlsen vs Svidler, 2013    ahmadov: I am really looking forward to seeing Svidler to win this game.      Feb-15-13 R Mamedov vs O Danielian, 2013   ahmadov: Good job, Rauf.      Jan-16-13 Aronian vs Anand, 2013    ahmadov: Congrats to the Champion for this great game!      Dec-18-12 R Misa vs Z Ahmadov, 2011    ahmadov: Indeed, it is difficult to guess what was my reason to play certain moves then. I really hope that I got better after using Guess the Move feature of this web site intensively for the last half year or so. I think I would not play some of the moves on this game if I am in the same ...      Dec-18-12 Shakhriyar Mamedyarov    ahmadov: <MamedyarovFan> I do not remember I have such a report. I wanted to write a report about some of these guys, but then I found that either they were too busy or some of these GMs do not want to expose their personal life because of their modesty. In case if I resume my chess ...

Ahmadov and friends!

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 198 OF 198 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-31-13    ahmadov: Hold on. This must be a joke. Kg3 in my previous post was a typo. Honestly, I meant Kh3 :-) Sorry for that. Mar-31-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <ahmadov> Good Nuklu, I've missed these discussions so much... Kg3 is better :) Kh3 is OK, though; really, the main thing here is to avoid 1.Rh1. Which is not OK :-) Mar-31-13    AbhinavAsthana: I'm coming back here after years, but this time, I have a special purpose as well! <Very Very <Happy Birthday> and Many Happy Returns Of The Day!> > Specially wanted to wish you on your forum, because this was the place where I first met you, around 6 years ago! I have learnt a lot from you! Cheers and Best wishes ahead! Abhinav Mar-31-13    kudubux: My good friend <Zahir>! It is April 1 now in my place. Happy Birthday! Remember, LIFE BEGINS AT 40! :-) Mar-31-13    kudubux: To have our game analysed by the great Finnish Master <Switch> is a pleasure. Not much really going on there, if I were to ask, I just wanted to play a risk-free solid position and you just happen to misplay an otherwise drawish position. Mar-31-13    kudubux: <Rich is surely underrated though :-)> Fellow players at our chess club often tell the same thing to me. Lately, I feel like I'm beginning to emulate Ivanchuk's unpredictable style (minus the crazy stuff off the board). One game I'm good, the next I'm patzerish. And the babysitting I'm into right now surely lessens my time for chess practice. By the way, Kiril is nearing 8 months old. :) Mar-31-13    kudubux: Speaking of Gameknot, they sent me mail saying I may be cheating because I'm allegedly using multiple accounts on a single computer. I lost games on time because they restricted my account. I'm logging in at Internet cafes. Could it be other Gameknot users use the same computer? That may very well explain the "cheating" allegations. Apr-01-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <ahmadov> Happy birthday! :-) <kudubux> Does Kiril know the moves already? I'm very sorry GameKnot has tagged you as a potential cheater. (Why multiple accounts would indicate cheating is a mystery anyhow...) In particular, they seem to think that "kirilism" is you; to be fair, if someone with that handle used your IP I'd probably think it was you, too. Let's hope you can clear the matter and get your playing rights back. In the meantime, you can always play us here :) Apr-01-13    wordfunph: happy birthday, <ahmadov>! Apr-01-13    ahmadov: Wow, so many friends came to this place for the last one day! Will reply each of you tomorrow. Watch this space. Apr-02-13    brankat: Best wishes for Your birthday! Apr-02-13    WannaBe: What?!!? It's your Boithday!!! Didn't we just had one last year??? Happy Boithday to you, my friend. (Thanks to <brankat>'s previous post!) Apr-02-13    ahmadov: <SwitchingQuylthulg: <ahmadov> Good Nuklu, I've missed these discussions so much...> Yes, indeed, these discussions are very interesting and useful. I am happy that you also miss them :-) Apr-02-13    ahmadov: <Switch><Kh3 is OK, though; really, the main thing here is to avoid 1.Rh1. Which is not OK :-)> Yes, even though I cannot properly explain why 1.Rh1 is not good, I would intuitively reject that move. I would think the rook should rather deal with g column than being engaged with the defence of a pawn when the King could do that.

I have learnt a lot from you! Cheers and Best wishes ahead! Abhinav> Dear Abhinav, thank you for coming here and posting your wishes! I thought you abandoned this forum for good. HOw good you are back! I also learned a lot from you and I believe you will remain one of my best virtual friends until the end. I wish we have a chance to meet at least once, to upgrade this friendship into a real one in the future. Best regards, Zahir Apr-02-13    ahmadov: Dear friends, <kuduubux>, <SwitchingQuylthulg>, <wordfunph>, <brankat> and <WannaBe>, thank you for your warm wishes! Apr-02-13    ahmadov: <kudu><Remember, LIFE BEGINS AT 40! :-)> I think you are right. At least, this is true for me, because I have certain resolutions for my life after 40. Apr-02-13    ahmadov: <Switch><kudubux><Does Kiril know the moves already?> Well, I think if Rich wants to see his son as a professional chess player, he needs to at least introduce chess pieces to Kirill already at this age. Apr-02-13    ahmadov: <WannaBe: What?!!? It's your Boithday!!! Didn't we just had one last year???> No, last year I missed it, I caught it this year :-) Apr-02-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <ahmadov: I would think the rook should rather deal with g column than being engaged with the defence of a pawn when the King could do that.> Please say the "g" was another typo :-) Apr-02-13    ahmadov: No, it was not. I think g column could also be explored as a potential weakness, as there is no White pawn there and King could be exposed. Don't you agree? Apr-02-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: As far as I can see, the rook has no future on the g-file. Open files are like roads - they help you get places, but other than that they're not all that great - and the g-file is a blind alley leading nowhere :-) Black can't realistically hope to get anything going on the g-file, as that would require way too many tempi (...Qe7, ...Kh7, ...Rg8, ...f6, ...g5 - and even that likely wouldn't be enough) and weaken his own position too much. And White can't realistically hope to get anything going on the g-file since there are no targets whatsoever; it's very easy to protect the pawn on g6. All the action is going to happen on the queenside and possibly in the center. Thus, the rook almost certainly belongs on the c-file, where it can really start going places :-) Apr-02-13    ahmadov: Maybe you are right. I was deluding myself with a belief that paired rooks on the g file, then a captured enemy pawn on that file since the f file pawn cannot take the rook because the Queen controls the diagonal end of which there is the black King could be a possible scenario. But I know you would say that by the time the rooks get paired on the g file, White would lose tempo, and Black would gain some. Apr-02-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: Black just plays ...Kh7 and the attack is over :) Apr-02-13    ahmadov: Yes, that is true. Sometimes I lose because I am too optimistic about positions that look tempting, but do not give much play, the one we have just discussed.
