GM Hikaru Nakamura wins the BNBank Blitz tournament

  Although a tad late, I can't forget to put up GM Nakamura's 3-1 victory over GM Magnus Carlsen in the BNBank Blitz final on GM Carlsen's own turf in Norway.  I am a fan of GM Nakamura due to his battles with TransWarp.  He was the most courageous player on ICC to play TransWarp, amassing many games before deciding to quit playing computers.  He may have since TransWarp's account had to lapse due to finances, But like many others who like watching top level blitz chess, he's simply the best at this time.  I am going to try and fit all 4 games from youtube on here along with the moves in text as the video is choppy due to it being from a webcam at the event.  Thanks to youtube for allowing embedding of their video. Again,
NOTE: The Video IS Choppy, there are other videos of the games on youtube, but they are by a guy who moves around, it was either or....either have choppy video with a stable board, or a video that is unstable and hard to concentrate on the position...not much of a choice, but hey, thought I would give it go.

RE: FTC Blogger Compensation Endorsement Rule Dec 01, 2009


While TransWarp Chess does get compensation for banner ads from Google Adsense, Google Affiliate Program, Commission Junction Affiliate Program and Allposters.com. TransWarp Chess does try not to personally Endorse any specific product, while I the blogger may like the idea of certain products and services, it is up to you, the reader to decide if a product deserves to be looked at via the ads. I comment on chess and computer chess, this blog is NOT about the products that are featured in the ads. At any rate, to date TransWarp Chess' blog and the small sister blog Paranormal Questions, has in it's account $1.59 from Google Adsense, no distribution of funds until $50.00, $0.00 from Google Affiliate Program and $0.00 from CJ Affiliate Program, $5.74 in holding at Allposters.com until $25.00 is reached in commissions. All this well over a year of blogging, I guess some abuse the blogging system to the point that this rule was made, I hope this satisfies the FTC regulation, as to what I heard on the site, it sounded like if the blog itself was dedicated to a specific product/s. But best to be safe.

Not much to say, a disabled dude who blogs when he can for fun and some spare change, really that's what it's been so far, spare change! But that's life, doing this helps it go by a little less painful by keeping my mind occupied. A tumbleweed would do that at this point :P Have fun and Take Each Day as a Gift!
