The good news is the Rising Stars won today. The bad news is they only closed the gap by 1 point. They are still trailing the Experience team by 3 going into the final match tomorrow. The consolation is the Rising Stars will have White on all 5 board tomorrow. Can they make the valiant effort to overcome this deep deficit?

I hope Nakamura is OK. His performance is terrible.
‘I hope Nakamura is OK. His performance is terrible.’
For the x-th time – NO he is NOT OK. He is very sick. During some games he had to go to the toilet to throw up.
You try playing chess in such conditions.
Despite all his excuses….I think Nakamura is playing at the level he actually is. Which is great by normal standards but just not so impressive at world level standards.
He’s second rate…let’s face it.
Nakamura threw up because his butt-cheeks was being kicked so hard, his food had to come up.
He is a little kids playing with grown man.
