Jun-14-05    chessgames.com: We now have some of the games from the Foxwood open from Connecticut which took place in March. Hikaru Nakamura won with 7.5/9. Jun-14-05    PhilFeeley: Why not all the games? Even the tournament site doesn't have them. Jun-14-05    cade: Nice score for Naka. Jun-14-05    refutor: <why not all the games? even the tournament site doesn't have them> call me crazy, but don't you think the two things go hand in hand? Jun-14-05    Knight13: Hey! There's only 5 games played by Nakamura recorded here. Why not 9? Were there people who were rated under 2200? Jun-14-05    DP12: Theoretically it doesn't matter as long as Naka participates. However organizers have time limitations so only games that are easily readable, fairly short, or very important get included. Jun-14-05    SnoopDogg: <Why not all the games? Even the tournament site doesn't have them.> Its because they really didn't happen like http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp... Jun-14-05    roni.chessman: Why does chessgames register Nakamura's rating at 2752!??! Is this blitz or rapid or something? Jun-14-05    iron maiden: It's his national USCF rating, not FIDE. It should probably be fixed. Jun-14-05    roni.chessman: Kasparov should live in the US and get one too! :D then he'll probably hit 3200 USCF Jun-15-05    yoozum: Any idea how many points Naka picked up here? Jun-15-05    iron maiden: 7/8 (plus a bye) against this kind of opposition is probably worth 15 or 20 FIDE points. But apparently he won't be getting them for the July list. Jun-15-05    MrSifter: <roni.chessman> Kasparov would probably be around 3050. (no joke) Jun-15-05    zabbura2002: I don't see any Qh5 in any Nakamura's games! Jun-15-05    iron maiden: This tournament was played back in March, before his infamous Qh5 against Sasikiran. Jun-17-05    VishyFan: This tournament was indeed played in March, but I wonder if this is a rapid (or something of that sort) tournament coz this tournament doesn't figure in the rating lists! Jun-17-05    Dick Brain: <VishyFan> It's a rated tournament, I'm sure. He'll get those points eventually.
