Nice Diplomacy from Nakamura

Was watching the live stream from the Tal Memorial.  Naka just said that yesterday he tried to play like Tal, today he thought he played all over the board like Alekhine.  "I figured since I'm in Moscow I'll play like the Russians."  He got a nice round of applause, very nice indeed.

Is that on the official site? in Russian?

Yes.  Nakamura, Caruana, and Carlsen speak English and they translate into Russian for the audience.
