🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura after his loss to 🇺🇿 Javokhir Sindarov: “I can’t be mad at myself for this one.” Nakamura said the mistake came down to preparation: “This is 100% on the people who are working for me… my file didn’t have the move castles.” He added that castling was “such a human move” that when Sindarov played it, his reaction was: “What is this?” According to Hikaru, it felt almost impossible to work it out over the board without already knowing the idea.





🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura criticizes anti-cheating measures at the Candidates. Speaking live on Kick with Jon Ludvig Hammer and Fiona Steil-Antoni, Nakamura called the security protocols “nonsense,” arguing they’ve gone too far. Players are scanned before and after games, with strict controls and multiple checks in place. “At some point you have to ask… who are we? Mossad agents in Iran or what? We’re just chess players.” He added that he hasn’t raised it with FIDE, saying he doesn’t see the point, and believes concerns about cheating at such a tightly controlled event are being exaggerated.
