Nov-16-10 | | BobCrisp: He's going for the record of Colonel Moreau. |
|
Feb-06-13 | | Jafar219: Mamedov rules Moscow! |
|
Aug-14-14
 | | al wazir: The shirt he's wearing in the photo reads "KGB" and "USSR." Is there a message there? |
|
Aug-14-14 | | Strongest Force: I wouldn't want to meet Rauf in a dark alley. He is big and looks mean. Actually, I though Rauf was Nak, online. They were both 14 and Rauf became one of only two "talk-buddies" that I had online at that time. The other was Kamsky: two very nice guys. |

Feb-28-15 | | cro777: Rauf Mamedov, the 2015 champion of Azerbaijan, is likely to replace Wesley So at the 2nd Vugar Gashimov Memorial which should take place from 16-25th April in Shamkir, Azerbaijan. Wesley So will compete at the USA Championship which is scheduled for March 31 to April 14 in Saint Louis. Schedule conflict?

Mar-20-15 | | CountryGirl: Rauf is an absolute killer at blitz. Have a look at some of his games on YouTube - he has great wins against the cream of the world's elite. No one is safe! |

 | | Penguincw: Congrats to Rauf Mamedov for entering the top 100 live ratings. His draw against Anand today gave him 1.9 points, which bumps him up to 2654.3 and 99th place. |

 | | offramp: Happy birthday to him. In the picture of him on this page, what is that T-shirt he is wearing? It seems to say CCCP, ie the USSR. |

 | | Penguincw: Happy 26th birthday to Rauf Mamedov. Good luck in his game today against Carlsen, with black. P.S. Even if he loses, he'll still be at 2655.4, which is currently 93rd. |

P.S. Even if he loses, he'll still be at 2655.4, which is currently 93rd.> I like the extra 0.4 in <2655.4>. It means that if he is about to enter a revolving door at the same time as a GM rated only 2655.0, then RAUF goes in FIRST!! |

May-06-15 | | whiteshark: "<Rauf Mamedov> was by far the lowest-rated player in the recent Shamkir Chess tournament and did in fact finish last, but his seven draws and two losses were anything but a bad result in his first supertournament. In an <interview> after the event he talks about what it was like to face the giants of the game and how losing to Carlsen on his birthday was a useful wake-up call for the Nakhchivan Open." http://chess24.com/en/read/news/mam... |

May-06-15 | | torrefan: Needs to lose weight to win tournaments.
Fat players don't win tournaments nowadays. |

 | | Penguincw: Rauf Mamedov came close to winning the World Open: he scored 7/9 (+5,-0,=4), which was tied with Aleksandr Lenderman, but he lost the Armageddon game. |
|
Apr-26-16 | | Conrad93: He's the only player I know of at this level, who plays the KID consistently, but he plays it in his own style, sometimes even choosing novel moves early in the game. The only comparable player I can think of is Ilya Smirin, but I think Smirin has the edge over Mamedov. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Can anyone explain the Coat of Arms on Rauf's shirt, in his photo here? "Alex, I'll take middle Asia medieval Coat of Arms for 1000, please." |

Apr-25-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <WannaBe: Could be Kappa Gamma <???>
Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, Eta, Iota, Kappa, Mu, Nu, Pi (long shot), Rho.> Why is Pi a long shot? Sounds logical to me: Ma made off with the pie. |

 | | Penguincw: Facing Carlsen must have done wonders for him.
Mamedov is the last perfect player at Aeroflot 2020, with 3/3 |
|
Feb-28-20
 | | Penguincw: Mamedov finishes in a 4 way tie for 1st at Aeroflot, losing out on tiebreaks. https://chess-results.com/tnr508930... |
