Nakamura said on his facebook page, "my opponent Pavel Eljanov played better than I did, especially yesterday when he found a nice sacrificial idea to which I responded very poorly."As always, it was a pleasure being in Baku, and I am looking forward to being back next year for the Chess Olympiad."
