Commenters, after the first few tourns, had the impression that despite their world class status none of the participants of this New Year's competition in Reggio Emilia was really in a sparkling state of Chess-fitness. Summing up, I think GM Nakamura shouldn't be too upset for the final result of this highly competitive and hardly fought tournament. Still the feeling remains, of having missed a good opportunity to win the first prize, after manging to reach, and to occupy for some time, a solid top position: I guess a professional Chess player learns tournament-strategy and energy management from experiences like this one! Good luck for your 2012! The lost game with White against Giri proved decisive, especially since the 17er scored 5/6 in his second half of the tournament.

Maybe the above shows (besides my mis-spelling "scacchi") that "play clearly like Bobby" isn't (yet) speaking your language. Which also indicates there's a lot of reserve energy to jet over 2800. So let me change that to: Cowabunga dude, go for it! Bring the excitement! Or as the Italians say, forza! Oops—sorry for today.

Buona fortuna nelle ultime tre partite, gioca chiaramente come Bobby... Auguri per il nuovo anno, e saluti anche al tuo padre---vedo che lui abita ancora in Westchester lavorando per gli schacchi con NCSF!

I wish you lots of success in 2012. I've been following you for years, since ICC, and then when you became a super GM! I cannot be happier for you seeing you in the world elite, and performing well. I never doubted the inmense talent you have, even when people were saying that you were just "good at blitz", I knew that one day you would be in the top 10, and I was right! Now you have demonstrated the incredible talent you have on board, improving day by day, and impressing everyone. Beating the world champion was just a small step. I hope your next step will include crushing Magnus Carlsen convincingly and building your path to the top 4 and try to become a World Champion! Kind Regards, a fan forever :) Happy New Year Naka!
