How hard would it have been to get this right?


The New York Post only had to look it up.

The only way to get it wrong would be to assume that because somebody has a Japanese-sounding name, they must be Japanese.

But why would you do that? Why would you do that in the USA? In New York?

    There's only one word missing.

    The wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikaru_Nakamura describes him as

    Hikaru Nakamura (ヒカル・ナカムラ Nakamura Hikaru, born December 9, 1987) is a Japanese-American chess grandmaster.

    And yet it is the hardest word to forget, unless you were assuming it didn't apply.

    I rather think that Ray Keene's Chess Oscar for Journalism is in for a stiff challenge this year.
