If anyone's interested, I've just played Nakamura online. Guess he now becomes the highest-rated player to play one of our lot! Was doing OK until the gremlins struck:

Me-Naka (G/0:15) 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 6. Ndb5 d6 7. Nd5 Nxd5 8. exd5 Nb8 9. c4 a6 10. Nc3 Be7 11. Bd3 O-O 12. O-O f5 13. f3 Bg5 14. Bxg5 Qxg5 15. Qc1!? Qh5 16. Qe3 Nd7 17. b4 Rf6 18. f4 exf4 19. Qxf4 Ne5 20. Be2 Qh6 21. Qxh6 Rxh6 22. c5 Bd7 23. Na4 (Great positional idea, but...) Bxa4 Sad

0-1
C'est la vie.

Another first for Ian Marks. Pity you did not beat him Ian that would really have put Cumbernauld on the map.
