”Is there a dentist in the crowd?” American superstar Nakamura is feigning pain and in doing so is showing that he has learned the hard way what the great Tarrasch meant when he wrote ”It is not enough to be a good player, you must also play well.” In the Tal Memorial (taking place in Moscow right now) the American is in dead last place along with Gelfand. Nakamura has failed to win a game so far.
