U.S. Champion GM Hikaru Nakamura Holds Simul in Atlanta

U.S. Champions have not often visited Atlanta, Georgia. On Saturday, April 20, GM Hikaru Nakamura, only three weeks removed from winning his fifth U.S. Championship, visited North Point Mall in Alpharetta, a northern suburb of the ATL for an exhibition that included a 25-board simul, 11-boards of blitz, and a lecture. The result against some of Georgia’s best? A resounding 36-0 for the champ. The lineup included many players north of 2000, including three IMs and GM Alonso Zapata playing in the blitz. For the lecture, Hikaru analyzed his last-round win in the U.S.
