Feb-18-04    MoonlitKnight: Rauf Mamedov (15 and 2468) beat Gadir Guseinov (17 and 2571) with black in Aeroflot today in what must have been an interesting game. Feb-15-06    WTHarvey: Here's a little collection of Rauf's OTB winning combinations: http://www.wtharvey.com/mamr.html Feb-15-06    BIDMONFA: Rauf Mamedov MAMEDOV, Rauf http://www.bidmonfa.com/mamedov_rau... _ Apr-16-06    ahmadov: Congratulations to Rauf for his excellent performance at the European Individual Championships in Turkey. He finishes this tournament ahead of his stronger countrymen like Vugar and Gadir. Feb-17-07    Resignation Trap: I really don't think that they let Rauf Mamedov play in the 2nd European Women's Championship in 2001, as he didn't meet the required set of criteria to participate. The following games were played by Rena Graf (also known as Rena Mamedova and as Rena Graf-Mamedova), formerly of Uzbekistan, now of Germany. R Mamedov vs B Kadziolka, 2001 I Tallova vs R Mamedov, 2001 R Mamedov vs T Stepovaia-Dianchenko, 2001 A Stefanova vs R Mamedov, 2001 R Mamedov vs S Prudnikova, 2001 R Mamedov vs C A Foisor, 2001 Kosteniuk vs R Mamedov, 2001 D Ciuksyte vs R Mamedov, 2001 R Mamedov vs E Hasanova, 2001 M Medic vs R Mamedov, 2001 and R Mamedov vs T Khmiadashvili, 2001 See also the final results of this tournament: http://www.chess.gr/tourn/2001/2nd_... . Feb-19-07    Strongest Force: Raufy is a real nice guy! He doesn't know english fully but he's learning fast. Try talking to him sometime. He has at least 6 handles on the ICC & no less an authority than Nakamura has called Rauf: "the new Roman". Trying to fill GM Roman's shoes is not easy but Generallissimus (one of Rauf's favorite handles) is often up to the challenge. May-07-07    ahmadov: I especially liked Rauf's KGB T-shirt ;) May-11-07    russep: So is this guy an IM or a GM. Where's he from etc? May-12-07    ahmadov: <russep> He is a GM from Azerbaijan...

See what i just wrote about Nakamura and Caruana at Nak's forum here at C.G..com. Jan-04-08    timhortons: hes handle is "adaptation" hes a kid with a kid behaviour, when ever naka is playing hes analyzing the game kibitzing the possible moves,guess they knew each other, i told him he should have a game with naka but he reply that naka beat him 8 times for good in the past... Jan-04-08    timhortons: his other handle is muisback....he has multiple handle...morozovich likewise has multiple handle at icc,a-morozevich and benefactor Jan-29-08    Resignation Trap: Mamedov just won the championship of Azerbaijan with a score of 7/9. Aug-10-08    Xeroxx: is he a GM? Sep-06-08    biglo: Yes he's a GM. I have been beaten by him (muisback(GM)) twice at blitz on ICC after he challenged me out of the blue. Nov-19-08    jon01: What is his name? In Olympiad it shows Mammadov everywhere.
