His ELO has raised 2620 in the last official FIDE rank (Oct. 2004), but it is higher to the present, let´s see the new rank to be released in January. This 16 years old boy is the new U.S. Champion, and he has had impressive results in the last months. Apart from being the new U.S.Champion, he has beated other young prodigy, Sergei Karjakin, in the match played in Mexico this month. The score: a contundent 4.5-1.5... Impresive, because Karjakin has had an incredible performance in the last months too, including his brilliant actuation in the Olympiads... 16-year Hikaru is US Champion 06.12.2004 Hikaru Nakamura, a teenage ace from White Plains, NY, beat Alex Stripunsky for the US championship title and $25,000 in prize money. With that Hikaru became the youngest winner of the 159-year-old title since Bobby Fischer. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Nakamura does not match any item.
