Robert Hess?

Probably Shankland.
It looks like Fabiano Caruana to me.
Fabiano Caruana.
Is he over 2600?
Young Fabiano Caruana. This time even I was able to recognice the player (but I had to look how his name is written ;)).
He looks familiar but I can’t remember his name. He’s for sure not Nakamura because Nakamura is from the Philippines so he looks Asian.
What? Nakamura is not Filipino. He’s Chinese I think. Perhaps his father is Chinese and mother is French.
Fabiano Caruana!

What are you guys talking about? He’s not Chinese or Filipino. He’s 100% made in the USA.
Wrong. His mom is American. His dad is from Sri Lanka. His Dad is a GM from Sri Lanka. I think his name is Sunil.
It looks like Fabiano Caruana to me.
Definitely Fabiano Caruana. Very recognizable, and he hasn’t changed much since 2004.
Just scroll down the page it looks like the same guy wearing similiar glasses Ljubo took his off, maybe dont trust them, You know how chessplayers are!
Hikaru Nakamura, (中村光 Nakamura Hikaru, born December 9, 1987 in Hirakata). He was born in Hirakata, Osaka Prefecture, Japan, to a Japanese father and an American mother, and at the age of two years old, he moved with his parents to the United States. Nakamura began playing chess at the age of seven and was coached by his Sri Lankan stepfather, FIDE Master and chess author Sunil Weeramantry.
“Wrong. His mom is American. His dad is from Sri Lanka. His Dad is a GM from Sri Lanka. I think his name is Sunil.”
WRONG again.

Fabiano Polgar.
Naturally.
Looks like Fabiano Caruana to me! He just has a bigger head now! 🙂
Hello, who’s got glasses and curly hair like that?
Fabiano…
Sunil Weeramantry has lived in the USA—New York City/Westchester etc./—for a very long time. I knew him all during the 1970s. Played a good King’s Indian—I remember one amazing game he played as Black that was annotated in the late 1970s but isn’t at chessgames.com. Hikaru is certainly like-father-like-son in that aspect!
Il ragazzo nel foto è tuttavia Fabiano.
