http://www.philstar.com/sports/2013... MANILA, Philippines - Boys at seven spend most of their time with their PS3s or PCs and tabs voraciously playing Candy Crush or Temple Run. But not youthful Fide Master Alekhine Nouri, who allocates a huge majority of his day handling chess pieces and mastering moves and immersing in chess books. “Our daily routine features 10 hours of training; no computer games, no TV. We only ease up on Sundays,” the chess prodigy’s father and personal coach Hamed Nouri said in Filipino. Only two years since first picking up the chess pieces, Alekhine bore the fruit of his perseverance by earning an outright FM title with his victory in the Open 8-under category of the recent 14th ASEAN + Age Group Chess Championships 2013 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Alekhine, who was named after the great Russian world titlist Alexander Alekhine, thus became the youngest Filipino FM Fide Master at seven (in comparison, GM Wesley So became an FM when he was 11, although it took him three years to get a GM title). “Siya ang youngest Fide Master in the world ngayon (He’s the youngest FM in the world today, actually),” said GM Jayson Gonzales, the National Chess Federation of the Philippines executive director, when the delegation paid Philippine Sports Commission chairman Richie Garcia a courtesy call yesterday. Sportshub ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1 “Pangarap ko po maging Super Grand Master at world champion (It’s my dream to reach super GM status and be a world champion),” said Alekhine, who accounted for four of the 24 gold medals Phl won in Chiang Mai.The Pinoy chessers brought home a total of 65 medals. Like Nouri, Allaney Jia Doroy (girls’ 12-U) , Samantha Glo Revita (girls’14-U) and Shania Mae Mendoza (girls’ 16-U) also gained their outright Woman Fide Master (WFM) titles. Alekhine used to tag along his father Hamed to a chess club in their province, Escalante, Negros Occidental, when he was five years old. The boy liked the game very much that it was him who asked Hamed, a Fide Master himself, to go to the club. He scored a big fat egg in his first three tournaments but that didn’t deter the incoming Grade 1 pupil at FEU-FERN from pursuing his dreams. By 2012, Alekhine, now based in Taguig, was already winning both local and international age group chessfests. After the Thailand meet, Alekhine is set to vie in the Asian Youth Chess Championships 2013 in Sari, Iran from June 19-27. “If he sustains his focus and train hard continuously, I think he has a chance of winning in Iran),” said Hamed, who quit his job to give his son’s chess career his full attention, in Filipino. |

| Jun-18-13 | | pinoymaster77: Kelangan pala ma update chess games ni IM-Elect Hamed, he's been more active for a year now. Napanood ko din siya sa last InterCities sa Tanauan, Board 1 siya I think ng Bacolod team, kasama nya si Sander I think, and nakipagsabayan with gmjoey. Since then very active, sa interview ni Nil Maglas sa kanya sa PSC Cup nung Jan, kapapanalo lang nya ng Subic pa-tournament ni debutante Kaye Legaspi. Then recently, got his FINAL IM norm from the Thailand Open, sana lang matiwasay na maigawad ang IM Title nya this Sept/Oct sa next FIDE Congress. |

| Jul-19-13 | | pinoymaster77: Nice B.Ang 'Chess Piece' article on father-and-son Hameddama & Alekhine : Chess Piece
Bobby Ang
THE CHESS world was in a turmoil in 2006. The world championship match between Kramnik and Topalov had just ended amid accusations of cheating and computer assistance, and the world was becoming paranoid. In the 2006 Subroto Mukherjee Memorial Chess Tournament in India, IM Rahul Shetty suspected some foul play in his 7th round game vs. Umakanth Sharma, who was doing very well in the tournament. Shetty complained to the arbiter that his opponent might be getting some computer assistance and requested that the hat which his opponent was wearing be inspected. The arbiter then went over and ordered the removal of the hat, which revealed a concealed Bluetooth device. He had accomplices outside the tournament hall relaying moves for him to make from a computer. Sharma was thrown out of the tournament and the incident reported to the All India Chess Federation, which imposed a 10-year chess ban on him.

It is November 2006, and Prospero Pichay, President of the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP), sponsored the 1st President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (PGMA) Cup, personally inviting many foreign grandmasters to participate. Hamed Nouri from Bacolod was enjoying the tournament of his life and strung up three consecutive victories over GMs -- Joey Antonio in the 6th, Bong Villamayor in the 7th and 22-year old Vladimir Belov of Russia in the 8th. Belov cried foul and accused Nouri of cheating with a computer -- he confiscated the score sheets of the three GM upsets and promised to go over the games with a fine toothcomb to prove his allegation. Come the 9th round Hamed Nouri was approached by the arbiter and was forced to remove the hat he was wearing. Not only was no cheating device found, but it was also discovered that the 28-year-old Bacolod player was suffering from premature balding which was why he was covering it up. Anyway, they prevailed upon him not to wear the hat for his final round game against Mikhalevski. Hamed Nouri lost badly in the last round game, but it was probably more due to embarrassment than anything else. Belov did not bring up his complaint anymore although he never returned the score sheets, which is why the official tournament bulletins have those three games missing. It was in this inauspicious manner that Hamed Nouri entered into the consciousness of the chess world. I believe at present he has already earned the necessary norms for the International Master title and only needs to bring his rating up to 2400 to get the full title. It is a bit hard to keep track of Philippine ratings now because up to now the Federation has not yet settled its fees with the World Chess Federation (FIDE) and therefore our players do not appear in the international rating list. |

| Jul-19-13 | | pinoymaster77: 2nd Post of 'Chess Piece' article :
Anyway, in the last Asian Continental championship Hamed reminded everybody that he is a strong player and took down one of the favorites. Ghaem Maghami, Ehsan (2568) -- Nouri, Hamed (2368) [E84] Asian Continental 2013 Manila PHI (4.16), 21.05.2013
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3
The Saemisch Variation, the popularity of which has increased lately as it is viewed as a good idea to avoid the Gruenfeld. Currently there are two critical lines here. I will show them to you. 5...0-0 6.Be3 Nc6
The first critical line is 6...c5 7.dxc5 (a sensational novelty was shown in the recent Candidates’ tournament when Grischuk unveiled 7.Nge2 Nc6 8.d5 Ne5 9.Ng3 h5 10.Be2 h4 11.Nf1 e6 12.f4 Nxc4!? The jury is still out on this new move, but after 13.Bxc4 b5 14.Bxb5 exd5 15.e5 dxe5 16.fxe5 Bg4 17.exf6 Bxd1 18.fxg7 Kxg7 19.Bxc5 h3 both sides seem to be losing! Svidler,P (2747)-Grischuk,A (2764) London 2013 1/2 41.) 7...dxc5 8.Qxd8 Rxd8 9.Bxc5 Nc6 10.Nge2 b6 11.Ba3 (11.Be3? Nb4!) 11...Bb7 12.Nd5 e6 13.Ne7+ Nxe7 14.Bxe7 Rd7 15.Bb4 Rc8 16.Nc3 Nh5! 17.Rd1 Rcd8 18.Rxd7 Rxd7 followed by timing in the ...f7-f5 break. 7.Nge2 a6
Hamed goes for the Panno Variation. Black takes aim at the d4-square with his knight, aiming for active piece play rather than the protracted manoeuvring that is common with the more classical 6...e5 and 6...c5. Black holds ...e5 in reserve and after White overprotects the d4-square with Nge2, as what happens in this game, Black will look to the queenside with ...Rb8, ...a6 and ...b5. This plan takes into account that White may castle long and from a positional standpoint it highlights the fact that the c4-pawn is lacking defence. 8.Qd2 Rb8 9.Rc1
This is the second critical line I was referring to earlier. Instead of going for a kingside attack White wants to play in the queenside. 9...Bd7
Black cannot play 9...b5? because 10.cxb5 axb5 11.Nxb5 Rxb5 12.Rxc6 would win a pawn. So he protects his knight first. 10.Nd1 Re8 11.Nf2 b5 12.c5 dxc5 13.Rxc5 e5!?
Obviously the idea behind Black’s 10th move. You cannot go into this line without a lot of preparation and it later turns out that Nouri had planned all along to give up his c7-pawn. 14.d5 Ne7 15.Qc2 Nc8!?
Black offers a pawn rather than go the passive 15...Rc8 (this is just a bad move -- take note that ...c6 is not possible because then d6 and the knight is lost) or 15...Rb7. 16.Rxc7 Nd6 17.Nc1 Nc4 18.Rxc4 bxc4 19.Bxc4 Qa5+! 20.Bd2 Qb6 21.Ncd3 Rec8 22.0-0 Ne8 23.b3 Nd6 24.Nb2 Bb5 25.Qd3 Bxc4 26.Nxc4 Nxc4 27.bxc4 Bf8! Now it is clear that Black is getting the upperhand.
28.Kh1 Qc5 29.Ng4 Qxc4 30.Nxe5 Qxa2 31.Nc6 Rb3 32.Qc4? <D> [32.Qd4 is correct. Maybe the clock was a factor here} Position after 32.Qc4
32...Rxc6! 33.dxc6 Rxf3! 34.Qc1 Rxf1+ 35.Qxf1 Qxd2 0-1 |

| Jul-19-13 | | pinoymaster77: 3RD Part - about Alekhine naman :
One more thing about Hamed Nouri -- he named his son Alekhine and taught him all he knew. Alekhine Nouri is only seven years old and already a FIDE Master (FM), the youngest in the world right now. He used to tag along his father to a chess club in their province, Escalante, Negros Occidental, when he was five years old. “Our daily routine features 10 hours of training; no computer games, no TV. We only ease up on Sundays,” Hamed says. Alekhine got the FM title with his victory in the Open 8-under category of the recent 14th ASEAN + Age Group Chess Championships 2013 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. While playing over the following game please keep in mind that White is only seven years old. Nouri, Alekhine -- Vo, Pham Thien Phuc [B76]
Chiangmai TAI, Asean Ch U08 (b) Chiangmai TAI (7.2), 12.06.2013 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 0-0 8.Qd2 Nc6 9.0-0-0 When the Yugoslav Attack against the Dragon became popular 9.Bc4 was a staple move, then came a period when everybody was avoiding it and going straight to 9.0-0-0. Nowadays we are all back to 9.Bc4. Why? Well, because it has been proven that 9...d5 was a reliable line for Black. 9...Nxd4
Black decides to develop another way, but this particular line appears to be in crisis at this point. 10.Bxd4 Be6 11.Kb1! Qc7
The point of White’s 11th move is that 11...Qa5? is met by 12.Nd5! winning at least a pawn. 12.g4
[12.h4 is supposed to be the best, but we transpose to that line soon enough. Pushing the h-pawn first is meant to provoke 12...h5 because now 13.g4 hxg4 14.h5 gxh5 15.Qg5 Rfc8 16.Bd3 leads to a winning attack. Here is a sample of how the game might go: 16...b5 17.fxg4 Bxg4 18.Nd5 Qd8 19.Rdg1 e5 20.Rxh5 exd4 21.Nxf6+ Qxf6 22.Qxg4 Rc5 23.e5 Rxe5 24.Rh7 Kf8 25.Rxg7 Ke7 26.b3 a5 27.Rf1 a4 28.Rxf7+ 1-0 (28) Blodstein,A-Serper,G Soviet Union 1982] 12...Rfc8 13.h4 Qa5 14.a3 Qc7?
A waste of time. The correct way is 14...Rab8 15.h5 b5 etc etc 15.h5 a6 16.h6 Bf8 17.Bxf6 exf6 18.Qd4 Qe7 19.f4 Bxg4 20.Nd5! Qd8 21.Nxf6+ Kh8 22.Nxg4+ Kg8 23.Nf6+ Kh8 24.Bc4? [24.Nd5+ Kg8 25.f5 leaves Black powerless to avoid mate, but anyway Alekhine is still winning after this inaccuracy.] 24...Rxc4 25.Qxc4 Qxf6 26.Qd4 Qxd4 27.Rxd4 b5 28.f5 gxf5 29.exf5 Re8 30.Rd5 f6 31.Kc1 Re2 32.Kd1 Re4 33.Kd2 Rc4 34.b3 Rc8 35.Kd3 Rc6 36.c4 bxc4+ 37.bxc4 Rb6 38.Kc3 Rb7 39.a4 Rb6 40.Ra5 Rc6 41.Kd4 Rb6 42.Kd5 Be7 43.Rg1 1-0 Like father like son. Obviously Alekhine is a very promising prodigy. We wish them both the best of luck. |

| Oct-01-13 | | pinoymaster77: Medyo mabigat yung Spanish IM Llaneza di matinag ng Pinoys,deserved nya > 2400 ELO nya.Pero siguro napagod sa 3 sunod na battles w/ Pinoys, natalo kay GM Wong in the last round, tapos Li Bo nanalo sa board2 kaya sya pa champ! |
|
| Oct-02-13 | | PhilFeeley: <pinoymaster77> Thanks for all the great father and son stories. I look forward to the further development of these two in international competitions. (On a side note: Belov should be forced to return the scoresheets. But he probably trashed them.) |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | pinoymaster77: Im re-checking because based on recent chess chat, some are under impression that Hamed has just 2 IM Norms. But checking the recent posts here, seems the norm in Thailand Open was already the 3rd and final IM norm? And also it was shared earlier that Hamed had already breached 2400 before. Checking his FIDE chart, its currently showing 2156 throughout, so this might be a factor. In the recent HK Open, no title yet and his ELO is 2366. http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev...
http://www.chess-results.com/tnr111... |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | pinoymaster77: Pero teka there's another FIDE ID number 5201454 referenced in the HK Open, and this is the one with the complete ELO history... so I wonder when is the next FIDE Congress to officially award the IM title to Daddy Hamed ? http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev... |
|
| Oct-08-13 | | geniokov: <PM77> Bakit ganun ang report ng Fide bro?May 2 magkaibang records na tumatakbo ng actual? May ELO na 2385 at may 2366? |
|
| Oct-12-13 | | pinoymaster77: Not sure on that, mukhang yung FIDE ID nasa HK Open ang mas active... Wondering whether the IM title would finally be awarded to Dad Hamed in the next FIDE Congress ? |

 | | ketchuplover: Alekhine Nouri is the youngest FM |
|
| Mar-16-17 | | joeyj: Just wondering how many IM norms results does Hamed Nouri have? In the ongoing 7th HDBank Cup International Open Chess 2017 - Masters, after R8 scoring 4.5/8, and his R9 opponent IM Garcia Jan Emmanuel (2444)PHI, regardless of R9 resuts, win, loss or draw he will be awarded an IM norm in this event. Assuming a loss in R9 his Performance rating would be = 2504.89. i.e. greater than the required minimum of 2450 for an IM norm. As for his titled opponents he have 5 GMs + 2 IMs, more than what is required (minimum of only 3-IMs). http://chess-results.com/tnr259126.... Btw, he already had achieved the IM requirement of IM≥2400 when in 2007-Jan he registered a 2418. His peak rating was 2432 on 2007-Apr. |
|
| Mar-16-17 | | joeyj: According to Hamed Nouri in his post at Chess News & Views he did indeed had completed his IM norms requirements. All he need is to document his norms + the 2400 Elo requirements and submit it to NCFP for processing and submission to FIDE. Congratulations IM Hamed Nouri !!! |
|
| Mar-17-17 | | wordfunph: Was it really Nouri who said he "did indeed had completed..." or this was yours? |
|
| Nov-07-17 | | joeyj: Congratulations IM Hamed Nouri !!!
FIDE had published the list of titles approved by the Executive Board held in Goynuk, Antalya, Turkey on 13-14 October 2017. http://www.fide.com/component/conte... |
