Jan-14-05    arifattar: Who is he? Jan-14-05    jahhaj: A quick search on google shows he's a Bangladeshi GM, the second from that country to get the GM title. http://www.virtualbangladesh.com/sp... Jan-14-05    Honza Cervenka: Today I have sent some of his missing games to chessgames.com. They will be soon in the database. Feb-23-05    fasting: here this guy gets beaten by a 13 year old girl: D Harika vs Z Rahman, 2004 Jan-24-06    nasmichael: Age doesn't matter in chess. Only insight and experience matter. Vision and will do not come with age, or all GMs would be old when they attain the title. Kids would not have a chance if age made any difference, that is to say, if the older the player, the better the play. And the sex of the opponent doesn't make it better or worse. Now, if the quality of play was poor, then comments might be qualified. Jan-24-06    nasmichael: Now the game itself was interesting, and it looks like the controller of the black pieces made a misstep in the end of the game. I have not seen a game with the pawn tension exhibited in this game, but I would enjoy watching a game like this live. Jan-24-06    BIDMONFA: Ziaur Rahman RAHMAN, Ziaur Photo http://www.bidmonfa.com/rahman_ziau... _ Jan-24-06    killjoy: Ha! How horrible of you to say age matters not in Chess! Certainly it does, I say! Think of all those horrible hours you put into its study, who else but a child posssessses such free time? I say, how horribly wrong it is to ruin your child's hood with so much chess that this horrible wretch may embarrass Rahman. What horrible reward to earn in place of the pleasant hours she might have spent in the sun, with her friends, in the jumping of rope and hopping of the scotch in the schoolyard!!! Ha! Sep-22-06    s.ahmed: hai bangali, eto obohela ! Jun-12-07    dx9293: A couple of years ago he spent some time playing in New York city at the Marshall Chess Club when I was a manager there. A quiet, nice guy. Nov-22-07    s.ahmed: Zia is one of the leading GM of BANGLADESH,participating at upcoming "World Chess Cup (2007)" accompanied with "Enamul Hossain" As far I know,he is suffering in typhoid for last one week.We hope it may not effect on his form. Good luck ZIA. Go ahead. শুভ কামনা !
