American Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, one of the world’s leading chess players, complained about the conditions of the Chess World Cup being held in Baku. In particular, he complained about the lack of water in the hotel. “I’m finally in Baku for the FIDE World Cup, but there’s no water in the sink or the shower. Great start,” Nakamura wrote on his Twitter page. According to a number of Azerbaijani media, Nakamura stayed at the Marriott Boulevard Hotel in Baku. He said that Baku is a disgrace. Let us add that the other day there were reports that Nakamura married the Iranian-Armenian Atusa Purkashyan. He is also a grandmaster and has represented the Islamic Republic of Iran for many years. By the way, the chess players of Armenia, despite having tickets, do not participate in the Baku tournament. Emma Chobanyan
