I notice that the newest issue of Chess Life is devoted in very large part to Nakamura and his victory in Wiik an Zee. Well deserved since that was a very strong tournament…
I only hope that Gata Kamsky receives similar coverage in his World Championship Candidates Match against Topolov… I was VERY dissapointed in the scant coverage of the last match between the two.
Gata might not be a “Poster-Boy” like Nakamura but if we fail to properly recognize achievments like Gata’s than why do we even bother to popularize chess here in the States???
I sincerely hope we do better.
