Hikaru Nakamura and Rusudan Goletiani have just won the US
Championship and the US Woman's Championship. Nakamura defeated
Grandmaster Stripunsky in a two-game playoff match by 2-0 to win the
US Championship and Goletiani defeated Abrahamyan in a two game
play-off match by 2-0 to win the US Woman's Championship.
Nakamura was the popular favorite because he is only 16 years old and
has the potential to become the next Bobby Fischer.
Hikaru Nakamura was born in Japan but has been in the USA since
childhood. Rusudan Goletiani is from the Republic of Georgia and
immigrated to the US in 2000.
These are almost personal victories for me because I have featured
them both on my website for the past four or five years.

The victory by Rusudan is even more directly a victory for me because
I did all the paperwork to get her a green card and allow her to stay
in the USA. I also travelled to the Republic of Georgia in November
2000 to help her with some family matters.

Then Fischer can become the next Nakamura and thus solve all his
current problems.

Egomania is not your only disability, is it?
Unlikely story.>

Unlikely story.
But then again, you do not know anything about chess, do you?
You probably were not aware that I was staying with a member of the
Georgia delegation during the 2000 World Chess Olympiad in Istanbul.

And then again you have no idea what I might know and what I might not
know, do you?.

It is true that I do not know where you have been, where you are now,
nor where you might be at any point in the future, nor do I care.
