Who is Harikrishna?
Wow. Nigel really had a major boo boo. His poor knight got pinned like a shish kabobed pig!

A comprehensive link building campaign was initiated to get rankings on generic keywords. This steadily improved the site’s ranking for the keywords over time. Comprehensive Keywords analysis was done to ensure that all the important keywords are covered. As a result of the improvements in rankings over a period of time the campaign was extended to further improve the rankings and also target other important keywords to get a broader coverage of tourist domains.
Really also i am curious about Harikrishna.
At 21, Harikrishna (ELO=2664) is India’s third strongest player behind Anand and Sasikiran.
In fact, for some time there has been a competition for the number two spot in Indian chess. Harikrishna, who is a bit younger than Sasikiran, at some point managed to overshoot Sasi to be at the number two position in India (although now he is back to number 3). He was number 31-32 in the world list for some time and number 2-3 among juniors until this year when he turned 21.
He has won many junior titles as well as tournaments like Hastings, Essent and others. Last year, he won at the Gyorgy Marx memorial and the Chess960 match against Naiditch. He had a series of bad tournaments but has pulled himself back into shape with good performance in the Russian league that included a nice win over Baadur Jobava.
Interestingly, Hari did train with Nigel Short for few weeks some time back (2003 or 2004?).
