Mar-22-06    McCool: Are you sure this person isn't Farou El Taher? Aug-31-06    bravequeen: this person is fouad eltaher egyptian IM Nov-26-08    Fusilli: <bravequeen: this person is fouad eltaher egyptian IM> Do you mean that that is his real name, or that that's the way his name should be properly spelled out? I looked up "Eltaher" and nobody shows up in this database. And if you look up "El Taher" you get this guy.
