Both Nakamura and Onischuk performed over 2800 to win the Individual Gold Medals. By not playing in the final round, Radjabov finished 2nd, less than 1% behind Onischuk for the Gold on board 2.
Congratulations to both Hikaru and Alex! Well done guys!

Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Why both Gashimov and Radjabov sitting?
Susan i think Naka scares the H__K outta Kasparov and da boys, to win games from such terrible positions! Do u think he tryin to trick U.S. when he says Magnus is the most talented player? UM just asking cuz clearly Um of AfricZen descent and dont know too much?
In what sense are the posts posted by the ‘Knights Raiders Chess Club’.
Is this a Susan Polgar blog with posts by Susan, Paul and ‘Google News = Chess’ … or is there now some new party doing the posting from the ‘Knights Raiders Chess Club’.
Is TTU finally asking for more value for its spend?!!
Congrats for the Greek team, they did very well among so much competition. Congratulations to Christos Banikas for his great performance in board 3. I remind his bronze medal in the 1st World Mind Sports Games in Beijing in 2008: http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2008/10/hristos-banikas-greek-hero.html
