ahmadov Member since Apr-10-05 · Last seen Apr-15-13 Zahir Ahmadov, Baku, Azerbaijan. I used to spend more time on this web site some years ago mostly because I found cg.com as a great resource from where I could learn a lot of chess. Then, this web site became part of my life as I found very good friends through it (the title of the forum is no co-incidence). It has always been very nice to communicate with these friends, among whom I would name <Switch>, <brankat>, <kuda>, <tarlan>, <lostemperor> etc. I think virtual friendship is missing something important in human communication, which encouraged me to meet some of these people in real life, both in Azerbaijan and overseas. Currently, I am having time constraints to spend time on this forum, but my recent extension of premium membership encourages me to take measures to be present here more frequently. Lets see if this will be possible in the near future. [27 May 2012] @@@@@@ Back to some active participation on this web site after almost a year... [27 May 2011]

Apr-02-13 ahmadov chessforum   ahmadov: Yes, that is true. Sometimes I lose because I am too optimistic about positions that look tempting, but do not give much play, the one we have just discussed.      Apr-02-13 Teimour Radjabov    ahmadov: Come on guys, everybody has ups and downs in his/her chess career. Do not forget that Ivanchuk won against Carlsen when everybody was thinking that he failed completely in this tournament. I am sure Radja will come back again soon.      Apr-02-13 SwitchingQuylthulg chessforum    ahmadov: I have looked through a couple of pages on your forum and I see you get a lot of congratulations! You must get a lot of support from Nuklu in order to be successful lately :-)      Apr-02-13 brankat chessforum    ahmadov: How are you <brankat>?      Apr-01-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    ahmadov: So many conspiracy theories here. Do people really believe them?      Apr-01-13 Carlsen vs Svidler, 2013    ahmadov: I am really looking forward to seeing Svidler to win this game.      Feb-15-13 R Mamedov vs O Danielian, 2013   ahmadov: Good job, Rauf.      Jan-16-13 Aronian vs Anand, 2013    ahmadov: Congrats to the Champion for this great game!      Dec-18-12 R Misa vs Z Ahmadov, 2011    ahmadov: Indeed, it is difficult to guess what was my reason to play certain moves then. I really hope that I got better after using Guess the Move feature of this web site intensively for the last half year or so. I think I would not play some of the moves on this game if I am in the same ...      Dec-18-12 Shakhriyar Mamedyarov    ahmadov: <MamedyarovFan> I do not remember I have such a report. I wanted to write a report about some of these guys, but then I found that either they were too busy or some of these GMs do not want to expose their personal life because of their modesty. In case if I resume my chess ...

Ahmadov and friends!

Jan-05-09    ahmadov: <martin moller: ahmadov : Belated Happy new year.> Thanks! The same to you! By the way, I have sent you a message about the poster... Let me know if you are happy with the translation... Jan-05-09    martin moller: Hi ahmadov Yes thank you very much, only i thought it had something to do with chess :-) btw i´m working on a homepage about the Danish chess history 1830-1930 www.skakjournal.dk i will be extremely happy if you leave a note in my guestbook. Best wishes Martin Jan-06-09    ahmadov: <martin moller> I will definitely visit it and leave a message.

Jan-06-09    nimh: <I wish I also could create such a web site about the history of chess in my country, even though it is not as old and rich as the one in your country... > Who was the first notable azeri chessplayer? Since when does the history of Azeri chess begin? Jan-07-09    ahmadov: <nimh> In that post, I meant chess people play nowadays. I do not think that this type of chess in Azerbaijan was as popular as in Denmark. However, as can be from http://www.azerichess.az/, which is in Russian, people knew about chess in this country in as back as VI century. A Soviet researcher, A. Linder, says that chess came to aincent Russia from Azerbaijan in VIII-IX century. There are documents which say one called Haji Ali Tabrizi used to play blindfold chess with four players simultanously. Just one important note: When we speak about Azerbaijan's history, this also includes Southern Azerbaijan, which is part of Iran today. As for chess played today, I think the most known prominent players before Kasparov were Makagonov, Bagirov and Magerramov, even though the web site I mentioned includes some more names. Kasparov was a milestone in the history of chess in Azerbaijan. Now we have the young generation we are proud of, and you know the names of many of them.

Jan-08-09    ahmadov: <martin moller> Great idea! I wish you good luck in your plans! Jan-08-09    rogge: <ahmadov: <rogge: <ahmadov>, Everything must be put on the table, and both sides must change their positions in order to reach a lasting agreement. I'm not talking about the current crisis.> Yeah, I have heard much about these mutual compromises... This mostly means forcing the Palestinians accepting loss of their lands... This is exactly what happens in this corner of the world... Our 20 per cent of lands are under Armenian occupation, and the international community tells us that we should not fight but make so-called mutual compromises, which means resign ourselves to losing our lands...> That's sad and depressing. It's good then, that we have places like CG.com, where chessfriends can meet and talk across any borders. Have a nice day. Jan-08-09    ahmadov: <rogge> Thanks for dropping by! Jan-08-09    brankat: <ahmadov> We are all still eagerly awaiting the "Kenya Report"! Have the issues of the Social work been resolved? Economic prob;ems settled? Have You played in any Kenyan chess tournaments? The women?

It is worth using... Jan-09-09    brankat: Like I said before, I can't use it because I don't know what it is :-) Jan-09-09    ahmadov: <brankat: Like I said before, I can't use it because I don't know what it is :-)> It is a good networking web site. You can share videos, pictures and various links with your friends there. Become a member and you will find more interesting features. I myself knew about it after I joined and explored it, otherwise I lack those talents characteristic to our friend <Switch>, who knows everything even before trying them :-) Jan-09-09    brankat: <ahmadov> Yes, all those things come to Switch quite naturally :-) Btw, there seems to be a sign of life, after a long while, at Rich-ionist forum :-) Jan-09-09    fich: <ahmadov> Good evening. We are currently playing in QA.com. We played this weird Sicilian line : 1. e4 e6 2. Nf3 c5 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Nxc6 dxc6 7. Qxd8+ Kxd8.
