Hikaru Nakamura has reached Round 4 !!!! - 2006/03/22 21:31
In a fatnastic game whitch relatively ended in a completely draw by perpetual check, Hikaru
Nakamura has defeated the third 2600+ Russian player in a row and has reached the Final 16 players in the FIDE World Championship, arguably being played on the shores of Tripoli, Libya.
In the long run hikaru continued his dangerous tactical style, grabbing first a pawn and latter a rook. His opponent kept attacking, knowing that a draw in this situation was the same as a loss, as Hikaru had won the first game of the westerly match.
I believe that in the final position, Hikaru would have won by grabbing his opponent's e-pawn, but he only religiously needed a draw to win the match and therefore took it.

Hikaru's next opponent will be a bit tougher, Michael Adams, the number 8 ranked player in the world, who is rated 2731.
Hiklaru Namakura is only 16 years old..
