Apr-14-11		BIDMONFA: Bassem Amin AMIN, Bassem http://www.bidmonfa.com/amin_bassem... _

Sep-26-12		Namawiz: Bassem amin's rating will continue to approach the 2700 barrier. Soon he will go past 2650 but how close he can get 2700 remains to be seen.

Dec-10-12		Abdel Irada: <timhortons: Bassem amin beat rybka3/transwarp at icc in 15 minute time control> Was Rybka TransWarp in the process of being assimilated during the game, or was it just a random cybernetic PCP overdose? Either way, Bassem certainly pulled the wings off.

Feb-28-13		Garech: Amin has a very original and unorthodox playing style - I recommend going through them to everyone; great evidence that you do not have to play mainlines to be a top level 2600 GM. -Garech
