that featured game (in the article) was really good!! I liked how Hikaru didn't recapture the rook at the end because promoting the pawn was more important
Go Naka! :)
Hikaru be proving to the haters that he's not just an online player

great teaser!
The article is extremely confusing. They say Rapport has 95% chances of qualifying for the Candidates, and later on they say he's qualified.
It is also not clear who won: Nakamura, or So? Since So defeated Nakamura in the tie break.

There are 3 legs to the grand prix. Each leg is a mini tournament which allocates a certain amount of points to the players based on how they finished in the tournament. The over all winner is the person with the most grand prix points. In the first leg, Nakamura beat Levon Aronian in a tiebreaker winning 13 points that were to be given to the winner of the first leg. In the second leg, Richard Rapport got the win winning the 13 point for that leg. By the end of the second leg, Rapport had accumulated 20 points (7 from 1st leg and 13 from 2nd leg) resulting in the 95% chance of him qualifying for the candidates. In the third leg, Nakamura finished second getting another 10 point putting him at total of 23 points. As a result, Hikaru Nakamura and Richard Rapport qualified for the Candidates tournament.
