Therefore, his performance becomes the best ever surpassing the previous record by Sofia, does not it?
Congratulations, Mamedyarov.
9 out of 9 is astounding. It must be some 25 or 30 rating points…
Incredible! Why has the USCF done nothing to encourage him to move to USA??
it was rapid play 😉
still impressive, but you must see that the toughest opposition posed was E.Najer.
why is he playing in such a low strength event compared to his massive rating??!!!!
