Carlsen, Nakamura This Saturday in Oslo
Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 7:00PM There's a strong invitational blitz (3' + 2") tournament this Saturday in Oslo, Norway, starring Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura. It should be a lot of fun, but I am slightly worried that if Nakamura is going to go from America to Norway to America to London (for the real tournament there starting December 7) he may not be 100% when it really matters. That's for him to worry about; for us, we get an extra little show.
More details here.

Go Naka!
Oslo is just a hop, skip, and a jump from London (700 miles, 1.5 hour flight)--shouldn't be too much of a problem for Naka.
Correct, UD, but that's not what I wrote! My worry on his behalf isn't the trip from Oslo to London, but from Oslo to America to London. That's the sort of globetrotting that may have contributed to his disastrous performance a couple of months ago in Amsterdam.
Is he going back home before going to London?!
