Hikaru Nakamura
Two decisive results here at Simpson’s-in-the-Strand in Round Eight of the FIDE Grand Prix Tournament sponsored by AGON. Unfortunately, one of the losses was incurred by England’s Mickey Adams, his second in consecutive rounds. Adams lost to the 2004 FIDE World Champiom, Rustam Kasimdzhanov. In the other decisive game, the American Nakamura was beaten by Vasyl Ivanchuk. This sends the US Champ to the bottom of the table. What is world chess coming to?! Leaders: B Gelfand 5.5/8; S Mamedyarov 5; A Grischuk, V Topalov and P Leko 4.5 … 12 players. http://london2012.fide.com/ Tomorrow is a restday. Three rounds remain.
