No surprise there. Mamedyarov is a beast, plain and simple.
What? Why no pictures of the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan?
he played a guy who hasnt even hit 2600, he should crush him, so i dont see what is so special about this
I am from Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, from the village of Embi. We travel by goat, if you’re rich, two goats. The poor travel faster by getting their goats drunk. This works for a little while then their goats go to sleep.
I am no fancy pants guy myself. My sister is no big time prostitute like that other guy from my country, she is just a regular prostitute. Anyway, bye.
Sadvakasov, not Sadvasakov, there is an error in the title.
Did anyone go to that site? Take a look at how the board is set up .
Yeah…I just saw that. The pieces are incorrectly loaded onto the board. Whomever shot that photo wasn’t into chess accuracy.
How come Mamedyarov has suddenly gone from strenght FIDE 2600 to near 2800 in mere 18 months?? Where is the Fritz hidden? I will not accept this!
