Sep-17-04   Giancarlo: <knight13>
Some guy chessgames.com put as player of the day. I don't think anyone knows who he is. Russian maybe?
Sep-17-04   Knezh: Russian by birth, Azeri by origin.

  nikolaas: K Ildar Ibragimov

Originally from the Soviet Union, Ildar is now living in New Haven, Connecticut. He was the New York State Champion in 2001 and is the current Connecticut State Champ. Adding to his of titles, he tied for first in the 2002 Foxwoods Open. Ildar has a sharp uncompromising style. He seems to play more classicaly with the black pieces as with white he played 1.b3 in a crucial last round NY Masters battle against Igor Novikov. With the black pieces he basically stays with double king pawn. As of November 2002, Ildar is ranked number 13 in the USA.

Dec-03-04   von schlepstein: All he has to do is add the letter "e" to his last name, seperate the words and it becomes "I brag, I move". A good description of many chessplayers.
Dec-03-04   PinkPanther: <athny>
Unless I'm mistaken, you'll never see a Slavic woman with a name ending in ov, it will always end in an a. Smashnova, Kourkikova, Navraratilova (sp?), etc.
Dec-03-04   von schlepstein: Sorry, "separate", not "seperate".

  vonKrolock: Ibragimov is from Kirgizia, a landlocked republic in west central Asia bordering on northwestern China; (formerly an Asian Soviet Republic) He stayed here in my State in 1991, and played at the World Junior Ch won, i believe by V. Kramnik (in Guarapuava) see the decisive game Zsofia Polgar vs Kramnik, 1991 - they played also a Student's Team Ch, and the Soviets won (Ibragimov, Sakaev, Kharlov)

  Maroczy: <PinkPanther> On a similar note, Lithuanian women's names end in the letter e.

  vonKrolock: <Maroczy> And, if II where a Lithuanian, his name would be Ildaras Ibragimovicius

  vonKrolock: Although very young, he was already a chain smoker (i hope he solved this problem, because he's really a nice fellow) - Following the Student's Ol i played a Blitz Ty whith all the Soviet Team except Kramnik: it arrived that my game against the Argentinian Fabian Fiorito had some particular interest in the prize sharing (not for me, i was an outsider), and suddenly our table was surrounded by kibitzers, amongst them the trio Sakaev-Kharlov-Ibragimov - it was the only instance that one of my OTB games was kibitzed by a World Champion Team!

  ahmadov: <Knezh:Russian by birth, Azeri by origin.> He might have lived in Azerbaijan, but it is certain that he is not an Azeri. He is either from one of Central Asia republics or Muslim parts of Russia (Tatarstan or Bashkiria). Actually, <vonKrolock> has already stated that he is from Kirgizia (Kyrgyzstan), which I believe is true.

  arifattar: <ahmadov> <Muslim parts of Russia> Interesting you didn't include Chechnya. Just curious to know as to what's the public opinion in Azerbaijan and other CIS countries.
May-24-05
Premium Chessgames Member
  ahmadov: The Azeri people supports the struggle of the Chechen people. We are friends and brothers. However, we will never support those criminals who perpatrated the Beslan tragedy. Crime and struggle for freedom are completely different concepts. As you can see, our view of this issue is not different from that of the rest of the world.

  ahmadov: I did not mention Chechnya among "Muslim parts of Russia" because Ildar has Asian look, not because I perceive Chechnya as an independent state.

  Benzol: The first game must be by another player if he was born in 1967.
Nov-26-06   Dr.Lecter: He is a nice player, actually. If you flip through his wins, you can see he defeated world class players like Leko, Morozevich, and Akopian.

Apr-10-07   Dr.Lecter: Ibragimov co-won the foxwoods open. congrats!

  vonKrolock: <Karpova:How did the game end and why don't you submit it? > I won that Game, I gave checkmate with my arrow hanging (clocks were still old-style) and the Russians were very glad about this - but I really realized just afterwards that Fabian was playing for one of the prizes, I was distracted, just enjoying the oportunity to meet some foreign 'killers' - Fiorito is also a good player and a nice fellow. (sorry for the belated reply - I saw Your question just now) ps: I have not the score, it was just a blitz T - the Chess historian L. Holzmann delivered a cross-table, maybe this can be still obtained)
Apr-11-07   Dr.Lecter: Wow, <vonKrolock>'s one kibitz made this page have TWO pages of kibitzing.
Apr-11-07   thedoyle: this guy yelled at me once. he's a jerk in my opinion. i didn't even do anything wrong.
Feb-01-08   DarthStapler: This guy sometimes give simuls at the club I go to
