If you have a solid connection, it won't happen. ——— Playing poker in a game of chess — Hikaru Nakamura began the New Year by leading the United States to a silver medal at the chess World Team Championship. On the heels of that success, Nakamura continued his impressive play in Wijk ann Zee, Netherlands, which annually hosts the world’s most prestigious annual chess tournament. Nakamura won two of his first four games and drew the world chess champion Vishy Anand. The tournament concludes on Jan. 31. Nakamura has adopted an extremely bold style. At key attacking points Nakamura looks to sacrifices a piece. The sacrifice opens up lines and facilitates an attack on the king. Objectively, it may not be the best move, but ...
