  Tabanus: GM Mohamad Naser Al Sayed, Quatar, born 2 Nov. 1981. Now rated 2504, http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?...

GM in 2009. In Qatar, only GM Mohamad Al-Modiahki is ranked higher.

Played in the olympiads 1994 (board 4), 1996 (board 4), 1998 (board 2), 2000 (board 2), 2002 (board 2), 2006 (board 2) and 2008 (board 2).

He is playing today 1st round in Khanty-Mansiysk in the 3rd World Cup (2009)

Jul-27-14  zanzibar: His FIDE card has the name <AL-Sayed, Mohammed> and notes his GM title in 2009.

I don't know if any significance can be attached to the "AL" having both letters capitalized, but the Qatar Chess Assoc. (QCA) website gives his name as:

<Mohammed Naser AL-Sayed>

using the "AL" as well.

http://www.qatarchess.com/ (likely transitory though, listing Olympiad 2014 players).

There seems to be a convention that the Arabic <Al-> be used, following the QCA convention. They also consistently prefer the <Mohammed> spelling as well.

Jul-27-14  zanzibar: And he uses the FIDE spelling on his tweeter account:

https://twitter.com/gmalsayed

So I think <CG> should probably change the name to follow suit.

Congrats to 3rd Mohamad Naser Al Sayed for remaining one of only 2 players still perfect at the Elite Arab Championship. Today, he upset 2nd seed and hometown favourite A.R. Saleh Salem and will face top seed Bassem Amin tomorrow with white.

May-31-15  lentil: I stalled at the portrait. There's something surreal about the confluence of face and shadow!

  Penguincw: And congrats to the 3rd seed for winning the 2015 Elite Arab Championship. He started off on a strong 3-0 run (which includes the upset I mentioned above), before drawing the first seed. He then won 2 more games, a draw, another win, and then ended on a draw. With 7.5/9 (+6,-0,=3), he finishes half a point ahead of the 2 top seeds. He also gains a whopping 18.8 rating points (2501 -> 2519.8) for his 2672 TPR.

Have any more information on this tournament? Was it a closed tournament? Who participated?

Nov-06-15  Mr. V: Thanks! Good to know. Seems like it was a good showing but could have been much stronger. I wonder why such names as Mohamed Al-Mohdiahki and Samy Shoker did not participate. That would have made it truly more competitive.
