Feb-24-06    NBZ: Niaz Murshed, the first Bangladeshi GM and in fact the first GM from South Asia (next was Anand I think). Though he failed to fulfil his early promise, he remains a pretty strong GM. Feb-24-06    VishyFan: Niaz Murzhed is participating in the ONGC Cup GM to be held in Hyderabad from 25th February....... http://www.ongccuphyd.in/home.html May-13-06    BIDMONFA: Niaz Murshed MURSHED, Niaz http://www.bidmonfa.com/murshed_nia... _
