Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Nakamura should be #1 on this list. This is an outrage. They discriminate against him.
Naka is 24…. No more a Junior.
But Nakamura acts like a cry baby so he should be on this list! This is clear bias on the part of Ilyumzhinov. This kind of racist anti-Japanese=-American ism has to stop now!
