GM Hikaru Nakamura joins the New York Knights --------------------------------------------
by League Commissioner IM Greg Shahade
--------------------------------------------
The
second ranked player in the United States, Hikaru Nakamura, is going to
be competing for the New York Knights in 2007.
Hikaru is the most popular player in the country, mostly due to
his
uncompromising and ferocious style of play. Not only do the Knights
have Nakamura on their roster, but they also have 2005 USCL MVP GM Pascal Charbonneau, 2007 US
Women's Champion IM Irina Krush and 2007
US Junior Champion Marc Arnold. Add a rapidly rising IM Robert Hess and the veteran stalwart IM Jay Bonin to the list, and you've got a
team that should be a force in the USCL. Click here to go back to
