I saw it at chessbase.com recently 
Kudos to Hikaru for winning the 2nd ICC blitz open/open blitz event. He also took the 1st event last year. He is currently in Zug,Switzerland trying to salvage his grand prix hopes. In May he’ll be in Norway where among others he’ll face Svidler (who replaces Kramnik).
RD1. Draws Karjakin
Final result = 2nd place.
Down goes Anand !!!
Finished tied with Carlsen for 2nd in Norway.
Lost first round game of Grand Prix Event in Greece to Kazimdzhanov 
Good luck at the World Cup.
Herr Nakamura has not won the Tal Memorial…YET! In fact,he got chewed up by the the Shark in round 1
I will confess that I have not looked at all the posts in this thread. But I will say that players like Nakamura, Kamsky, and others in the public eye, do not owe anyone an explanation for their comments. Free speech is the greatest privilege we have, and if one of the players wants to express themselves in a way that satisfies their own needs…then that is good enough for me. I am not saying I will always agree with, or even appreciate what they say. But they are entitled to say what they want. BTW, I have Nakamura on Twitter and also Kamsky on FB, but I have never seen comments that were worth my criticizing. Let these GREAT players express themselves how they want to. Appreciate them for their contributions to chess! Using this forum to criticize, as if they owed you some explanation for their comments, is absolutely ridiculous!
I respectfully submit that doing so, with special care toward comprehension, might be a useful preparatory activity.
Of course they don’t. But that doesn’t mean their comments are sacrosanct, either.
The essence of free speech is being willing to accept that someone may have an opinion that’s different from yours - and may speak about it loudly. If you’re willing to put your raw, unfiltered thoughts out there, you have to be willing to take whatever heat comes from dissenters. That said, I think the probability of Nakamura ever seeing these comments can be expressed asymptotically. 
The last time I read the First Amendment, I must confess I didn’t see the fine print where free speech is restricted to those rated over 2700. And it bears repeating that when you are in the public eye, your comments have much better acoustics.
So deconstruct the criticisms. Don’t attack the critics. Don’t undermine your point by doing the very thing you’re railing against here.
“Ridiculous”. Interesting adjective. I wonder what adjectives most people would use to characterize someone who, in the span of a few short paragraphs…
- criticizes people for voicing an opinion.
- argues for positions that no one in the discussion has argued against.
- criticizes people for not appreciating the talents of the original subject(s) of criticism.
- criticizes people for using a chess forum…to talk about famous chess players.
3 straight wins now!
Alejandro Ramirez has already posted nice notes to today’s win.
As of this moment, three of the (unofficial) top ten players in the world are U.S. citizens: #4 Caruana (playing for Italy), #5 Nakamura, and #10 Kamsky.
Another great win for Nakamura. Today’s knight ending is interesting: quick notes at http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chesspro.ru%2Fchessonline%2Fonlines%2Findex_5053.html%3FPHPSESSID%3D501j4hdn3e8l65v62daqig6oc7
I called Nakamura. Carlsen answered.
Here is a nice video about Nakamura.
With one grand prix event to go, it looks like Nakamura will still qualify for the next Candidates tournament if he wins clear first in the last event.

Even if he took clear 1st place he’d be 5 points behind Shak. Sorry.
Hikaru is perfect! so far in the Houston Open, beating local expert Anthony Guerra in the 1st game of the 3-day schedule last night. Competition is expected to be fierce for the projected $700 1st prize (could be as much as $750).
Either he needs a few more FIDE rating point to qualify for something (Candidates?) or wanted to relax after NASA was done with him. Still, it’s worth a chuckle for a Texas woodpusher when Nakamura turns down US Championship because it doesn’t provide a strong enough competition, but then comes to your backyard to play in a weekend swiss.
Perhaps there is a (hefty) appearance fee.
