Hikaru Nakamura was featured today on the cover of the Saint Louis Post Dispatch. The article by Stephen Deere, focuses on Nakamura's potential to become a World Champion and to popularize chess in the United States. Nakamura, now #6 in the World, is off to Medias, Romania to play in Bazna Kings (June 11-22.), a double round-robin with GMs Carlsen, Ivanchuk, Karjakin, Radjabov and Nisipeanu. On the way to Romania, Nakamura stopped in Madrid--check out his blog for details on his stay there.
