Timman and Sasikiran win Sigeman Chess Tournament

Nakamura scored 6/9 and got third place. The seemingly unnecessary loss to
Sasikiran proved decisive. Nakamura tried a fool´s mate against the number
two of India (of course, he does not succeed), and in the ends, in a draw
position, he sacrificed a Pawn without compensation (and without thinking
too much) trying to win, an incomprehensive move, and he was finally
beated. Sasirikan is a very strong player, and Nakamura can´t play in this
way against this class of players, if he wants good results.
