I've never heard of this guy, he's got little kibitzing, but now he's winning the World Junior Championship (2007)! 5/6 after 6 rounds (of course) ahead of players like Wesley So (whom he jsut beat), Wang Hao, and Daniel Stellwagen Oct-09-07    superuser171: here's a photo of Carlsen vs Adly 0-1 (2006) http://www.maroc-echecs.com/IMG/jpg... Oct-10-07    Nepa Pugna: I haven't heard of this Adly Ahmed myself until now. The games he's played to date should be analyzed for originality and style content. Who knows, in time he may come into the upper echelons of the chess world as one of its newest stars. We'll have to wait and see. Oct-16-07    joebuck: Congrats to the new World Junior Champion! Oct-16-07    notyetagm: Congratulations to our new World Junior Champion! Oct-16-07    ahmadov: Congratulations! It is nice to see the representative of a different continent to win the title! This undoubtedly shows chess is becoming more popular in the world... Oct-16-07    samsal27: <ahmadov> I agree with you. The World Champion from Asia and the World Junior Champion from Africa! Congrats to Vishy and Adly!! Oct-16-07    chessmoron: The women's world champion is from Asia as well. A hat trick for Asia. Asia has all the gold!!! Oct-16-07    aragorn69: While the Sinai Peninsula is technically in Asia, it is quite a stretch to portray Egypt as an Asian country. Long live the new African Junior WC! ;-) Oct-16-07    Jim Bartle: Congratulations...but does he understand that a game can end not only as a win or loss, but also as a draw? Oct-16-07    pawnofdoom: Congratulations to Adly. Really deserved the title, though I wished Wang Hao could have won it. I hadn't heard of this guy at all, and I probably would have given him almsot no chance of winning, but suddenly, he appeared out of nowhere and won this big tournament Oct-16-07    cbpatzer: Great performance by Adly. Let's see if he can keep up things. As far as i am aware the official site is http://www.armchess.am/WJGCC07/wjgc... and there were frequent reports on http://www.chessdom.com However, no picture of Adly playing on both sites. Oct-17-07    Ezzy: Great stuff. A world champion from the African continent! Nice victory from a player who seems to blow hot and cold. Joint first at the 2006 Reykjavic open with a 2704 performance, then a terrible Corus group C performance losing 22 rating points in that 1 event. He can put in 2700 performances and also lose often to 2200 - 2300 players. He was blowing hot in this comp though. This puts his chess career well back on track! Oct-22-07    pawnofdoom: <cbpatzer> Check www.chessbase.com. They have pictures of him. And look at bidmonfa's link below Oct-25-07    Riverbeast: When I visited Cairo I checked out a cool old chess club they had - maybe one of Adly's haunts: Mirrors and an old wood interior, it looked like it had been built in the 20s or something. Of course they served coffee and tea, and everyone was smoking. I remember playing blitz with the locals and making some fast friends there. They seemed to love chess. I'm sure Adly has brought them great pride. Good for you, bro! Keep it up. Oct-26-07    averroes02: congratulations for ahmed adly from egypt, the first african champion in the history of this continent.I know this player when he play in olympics but I was not sure that he can win this championship and he did it, you are incredible and famous and genius my son. your father from algeria: AMMAR. Nov-20-07    Karpova: Report on and interview with GM Adly: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... <I read in a German chess magazine that several years ago you were playing in a tournament in Nigeria, and that all the participants got malaria. Is it true that you survived because your next tournament was in Greece and you had access to a good hospital? <Yes, unfortunately. It happened at the African Olympic games. I was very sick and almost died. I was 60 kgs before contracting malaria and 32 kgs after. So you can imagine how bad it was. This stopped me from playing good chess for two years. However, I was more upset to lose two of my team mates, who were less ill than I was. I thank God I am still alive.>> Nov-20-07    sallom89: he must be rated 2650+ in no time ,i was totally shocked of some games that he played. Just awesome. Nov-21-07    superuser171: Thanks for the link Karpova. It's nice to see chessbase having an article about Adly.. Nov-21-07    hovik2003: It is good to see that Arabs are playing chess again, a game was played and flourished in Baghdad courts during muslem rule of MiddleEast from 7th-13th century on. Nov-22-07    pawnofdoom: Adly is going to play in the 2007 FIDE World Cup. I hope he does well. He was chosen as a player from Africa. Though he is rated pretty low, beign only 2500 compared to all the other 2600s and 2700s there, he should fare well. Nov-26-07    papynchase: He just drew with Black against Kamsky in 83 moves. A chessbase caption of the picture of them playing against each other, "Kamsky managing just a draw...", sounds very belittling. Nov-26-07    ahmadov: Unfortunately, this guy did not qulify... I wanted to root for him... search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 1 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing>
