The American Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura finally won his first super GM tournament. This was at the TATA Steel Super GM tournament in the Netherlands. Nakamura won the tournament with 9 points from 14 rounds ahead of Vishwanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen on 8.5 and 8 points respectively. Many things were expected from the American Grandmaster since he became US Champion, having broken just about every age-group record set by Bobby Fischer. Nakamura stayed true to his fighting chess style throughout the tournament. He has stated his main goal in chess for this year as breaking into the 2800 club. Who can doubt this with his recent performance at the Tata Steel tournament.
