Nakamura wins in Barcelona
Just a quick one about Nakamura this morning, because I'm in the middle of a tournament myself. It's been a while since we heard about him, and he didn't manage to qualify for the World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk at the end of this year. But this week, in Barcelona Nakamura proved he's still capable of performing on a level that justifies to call him a very promising player.Here all games in PGN from the Casino de Barcelona Tournament (or "Magistral d'Escacs" as the Catalans say) and here Nakamura' games. The ones from 1 (a White king ending up at h7) and 2 (a classic queen sac) are great, but I also like his technical victories over Dominguez and Illescas. Not to forget the last-round ending.Eindstand:
