How do you pronounce his name?
Nepomniaschtsch – as he told me last friday personally –
so written ‘in german’.
“Sch” is a sibilant.
okay
Does anybody know why Nakamura apparently got a win against Anderssonw ithout playing? They were paired against each other in round 6, however, it only shows + for Nakamura and – for Andersson. Was Andersson late for the game or did they have some animosity?!
