* Maimdiarove's name is butchered horribly all the time and the correct spelling is unknown
I feel like Nakamura would be the bitcoin contender on this list. I don't know if that's our secret grandmaster, but I can hope Smiley

Instead of Nakamura why not his opponent live right now?

Nakamura vs Eljanov started 30 min ago
https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/baku-world-cup-2015#live

Some evidence:
http://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2015-worldcup/04-3-Jakovenko_Dmitry-Eljanov_Pavel (look at first 6 moves and compare to our game)

Exact same opening today in Nakamura vs Eljanov except he played Bd7 instead of Nbd7 on move 5?

If he afraid Nakamura is reading this thread and getting all his ideas (and switched his 5th move to throw him off)?

Will many GMs start following this thread now?

WTF!
