VUGAR GASHIMOV
(born Jul-24-1986) Azerbaijan

[what is this?]
Vugar Gashimov, born July 24, 1986 in Baku, is one of several young grandmasters from Azerbaijan who have come to prominence in world chess in recent years. Having been taught the game at the age of six by his father, he became an IM in 1998 and a GM in 2002. Since then his tournament successes include clear first place at Acropolis 2005 with 6.5/9 and joint first places at Cappelle la Grande in 2007 and 2008, both years with 7/9. Also in 2008 he was announced as a participant in the inaugural FIDE Grand Prix cycle.

In the first round of the Grand Prix, in his home town of Baku, he finished undefeated and tied Magnus Carlsen and Wang Yue for first place.

  awfulhangover: Poor Gashimov that has got these hooligan fans :-)
Oct-27-09   frogbert: <this is surprisingly hard work isn't it?>

maybe on your part; remember, you need to make 4-5 posts (at least) for each of sugardom's posts in order to make the illusion really believable.

and sugardom needs to put some more work into his fact-based posts. and what were those attacks on poor gashimov?

<that's because you're gasha always rude and always saying bend and accuse people of cheating in icc.>

good you noticed that you were out of character by saying that. :o)

  timhortons: nice picture what do you think gasha is thinking?

maybe, wheres my toast?breakfast time!

Oct-30-09   muradov: Gasha is coming up!

Solid 2813,00 performance in European Team Championship. And a great way to finish it, by sealing the gold for AZE.

Love your fighting spirit.

Oct-31-09   Shadowmancer: Gashimov was the main man actually for Azerbaijan Team.

He made the difference...

My congratulations to the Azeri Team!

Oct-31-09   Shadowmancer: BTW, any relations to Sarkhan Gashimov?
Oct-31-09   Shadowmancer: <its time for gashimov to get punched by the top guns.>

Sorry but it didn't went that way. It's the other way around.

Surely, riped and ready for Category 21!

Oct-31-09   praddy06: Vugar Gashimov - live rating of 2767.3 currently no.6 hope he stays above 2750 to be in the super-elite or super-GM's group

others who peaked and went down very fast

Shakhriyar Mamedyarov had a rating of 2760 - now live ratings - 2725.9

Dmitry Jakovenko had a rating of 2760 - now live ratings - 2724.7

Sergei Movsesian had a rating of 2751 - now live ratings - 2719

Oct-31-09   muradov: <Shadowmancer: BTW, any relations to Sarkhan Gashimov?>

Yes, they're siblings. Sarkhan stopped playing and is now Vugar's manager. I think one is good enough from a family, unless your last name is Mamedyarov(a) :)

Oct-31-09   Jafar219: Gashimov has serious health ( fainting ) problems.He couldn` show his true talent because of this.If I am not wrong he had braing surgery 3-4 years ago

  SugarDom: Ya rogge, something is wrong with "braing" of mr219 :)
Oct-31-09   dannygjk: I know you're up there, because I can smell your BRAIN!
Nov-01-09   Ken Ji jun: Everytime my Laptop and PC got problems, got it fixed by upgrades. Am I being led to believe that Vugar Gashimov's brain surgery 3 - 4 years back is actually an upgrade of Intel chips on his brains? Reason why everynow and then he had this fainting spell, as claimed by the above post?
Nov-02-09   dumbgai: Since when did Gashimov become #6 in the world rankings?
Nov-02-09   muradov: <dumbgai: Since when did Gashimov become #6 in the world rankings?>

It's been a while in the live rating list. But officially, as of 1st of November, 2009 :)
