See full bracket here. Nakamura wrote on his facebook fanpage, " I will never forget watching (Adams) defeat Nick De Firmian in a spectacular Marshall Gambit in New York City in 1996. As a young kid who had just started playing chess, I found the game to be truly fascinating. There is something surreal about playing against people whom you once idolized." GM s Wesley So and Fabiano Caruana were both eliminated in round four of the World Cup by GMs Maxime Vachier La-Grave and Mamedyarov. 8089 8090 8091 8095 Wesley wrote on his own page, "Dear FIDE, thank you for a wonderful experience at the 2015 World Chess Cup event in Baku.
