Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Too bad Nakamura wasn’t invited.
Nakamura is too much for these players thats why.
Nakamura was invited but he chicken out 🙂 According to Nakamura he plays only against strong players and tourney US Open is not in his level.
Norway Tourney invited Nakamura too, lots of strong players playing this june 2014, he chicken out too and opted to play Navarra instead lol
Nakamura will show them who is the boss next time. The king of chess will unleash his power to demolish all these groups of pretender patzies in the upcoming tourney. So watchout Sauron, Aronian the barbarian, Anand and the two coniving thiefs, the CKarjackers and get ready to be dust off.
Thats horrible. Taking advantage of a kid just to make money. Disgusting. Nakamura shows his true face. Cant blame him somehow, he really needs a win to save face.
