Apologies if there's already a thread for this one, but I couldn't see one! Faris Akhazzan is on parade in the qualies. Plays the Uzbek, Uygun Bekmurodov, in the first round...
Good to see Faris travelling around the world in men's tournaments instead of Juniors. He was a top (sort of) player once and hopefully he'll reach those heights once again with enough hard work.
Bekmurodov seems to be making his international debut, so no idea what level he is at. Luncanu is extremely talented, though, and 7 games off him would be a good scoreline.
