About NSCF Tournaments Articles Instruction ... Home February 1997 Chess Scholar in the News Nine year old chess player Hikaru Nakamura has acquired the habit of winning. He is already a national champion, having won the 1996 National Third Grade Championship in Terra Haute, Indiana, but he will not rest. His latest feat is unprecedented - in the Greater New York Elementary School Championships, he won the Primary Championship and the Elementary Championship on two successive days, with a perfect score in both events! This amazing accomplishment won special "stop the press" notice from Empire Chess magazine editor Carrie Goldstein. Hikaru is the younger brother of another chess star, eleven year old Asuka, and the stepson of chess coach (and author ) Sunil Weeramantry. Hikaru started playing tournament chess in January 1995, at the Junior Chess Congress East in Stamford. He learned the game on his own, picking up the moves from having been around chess players. In October 1995, with his rating in the 700s, he competed in NSCF tournaments in Greenburgh, White Plains, Greenwich, and Hunter and won five tournaments in a row, with a 20-0 score! By the end of the national tournaments the following spring, his rating had risen to the mid-1300s - a tremendous jump. In the 1996 National Elementary Championships, while listed as 1195, he defeated three players rated over 1500. A sixth round win would have forced a pairing against Asuka, even though they played for the same school, Ridgeway Elementary in White Plains. But the brothers were spared such a dramatic confrontation when Hikaru lost to third-seeded Cindy Tsai of Florida.

Hikaru Nakamura makes master at 10 years, 2 months The Marshall Chess Club was once again host to another record-breaking event. At the club's weekly Thursday Night Action Tournament of February 26th, Hikaru Nakamura, who already set the record for becoming the youngest player to defeat an International Master in a tournament game when he defeated IM Jay Bonin at the Club's "Last Blunder of 1997" action tournament on December 31st (see previous posting), made chess history once again. Hikaru, who is only ten years and two months old but has already become a veteran Marshall Chess Club tournament competitor, achieved an official USCF rating of 2203 at the end of the February 26th tournament, making him the youngest player ever to earn a Master rating. Asuka Nakamura Hikaru Nakamura and his similarly strong (and not much older) brother Asuka have one tremendous advantage.

They will never have to spend money for grandmaster training. It all comes in-house.

Hikaru Nakamura, age 12, scores sensational draw on Board One of New York Open Chess Championship NEW YORK: May 5: Hikaru Nakamura who, two years ago, became the youngest USCF rated chess master in history, has scored a surprising upset by drawing on board one against Grandmaster Epishin of Russia.

However, Nakamura dug in and made it as difficult as possible for his grandmaster opponent to make progress. The spectators, which included many grandmasters, were astounded when Epishin was simply unable to push his passed pawn through to make a queen and agreed to a draw after five hours of play.

US Championships Sponsors The Specifics Additional Information ... Round 9, Jan 18 Round 4; In the shoes of the Fischerman Despite having last played in the US Championships in 1966, to this day Bobby Fischer continues to cast a giant shadow over the US Championships by holding just about all the major records for the event. The erratic genius first came to world prominence in 1957 when he made his debut in the national championships in New York. The precarious fourteen-year-old rank-outsider proved to be the shock winner that year to become (and still is) the youngest title holder. "I just got good", was Fischer's explanation of his unexpected victory and rise to prominence. From there he never looked back. In 1964, Fischer exceeded Sammy Reshevsky's record of five titles (though Sammy did go on to claim another two after Fischer 'retired' himself from the Championships) in impressive style as he notched up the most extraordinary record ever achieved in a modern, national competition: He won all eleven games, most of which were against top grandmaster-level opponents. By 1966 when he played in his eighth and final US Championships, Fischer set yet another record: Winning the title on every appearance - played eight, won eight! The only one of his records so far that has been beaten is that of youngest-ever competitor - an honor that now belongs to last year's AF4C wild card Hana Itkis, who was 13 when she played.

Although it is doubtful that Hikaru will be able to keep up with the rapid subsequent improvement shown by Fischer, he is probably nearly as strong as Fischer was at the same age. Judit Polgar was grandmaster strength by age 12, but she did not get the title until later. Hikaru Nakamura was born in Kyoto, Japan, with a Japanese father and an American mother. His parents soon divorced and his mother brought him and his elder brother, Asuka Nakamura, to America, where she married Sunil Weeramantry, America's leading scholastic chess coach and trainer.
