wow exciting to see these two playing the Daniel King's Gambit!

Nakamura went for a risky play, but it didn't work. Still, it was great to see; when do GM's ever play the King's Gambit? Hats off to Nakamura for such a bold move.

In King's Gambit the better player usually wins. This was no exception.

An exciting game to cover! So rare to see the King's Gambit at this level. Loved the analysis too.

Hikaru did not seem to have any idea about what he was doing. I was shocked that he still played the king’s gambit.

Nice game, wonderful commentary, thanks GM Daniel King!

I play the Kings Gambit (mere patzer 2000 to 2100) and I play the knight c3 line that Daniel suggested. As soon as Nakamura went pawn d3 he was dead in the water, way too passive. My idol Mr Morphy was sat in the opera box looking down very disapprovingly!

Excellent recap as always

lovely game always exciting to see a kings gambit

great coverage !

Ding played his N to h5 and achieved a great position against Magnus in a rapid. The Kings gambit is unsound between very strong players of about equal strength. Early ...d6 by black, against Nf3, also spoils much of White's fun.

Carlsen handled the gambit better than Naka, plain and simple. Thanks Daniel.

Thanks for the game 👍

A bust for the KIng's Gambit? In any case somewhat optimistic of Nakamura to imagine that Carlsen wouldn't have a good line for the KG up his sleeve!?

Magnus knew this line very well, as many of his fans. He played it against Fedorev in 2004, and THAT game secured 13 yo Magnus his 3rd GM norm.

Great vid! I signed up to your Patreon (finally) 🙂👍

Does black have a big advantage at 6:36? Nxc7+ to deprive black of castling rights and then retreat the knight to d5 to protect the c3 bishop. Actually, maybe even retreat the knight to b5 to hit the black queen also?

Schön, mal wieder ein Königsgambit zu sehen. Aber so, wie Weiß zerstört wurde, verstehe ich, warum!

This line for Black almost DOES seem like a refutation of the King's Gambit! As Daneil King said, this line gives Black a solid position and a relatively easy game...compared to White's awkward pawns and underdeveloped pieces. So, if that's the case, then why should White play the King's Gambit in the first place? The element of surprise? Hoping that your opponent doesn't know the correct way to play against this opening?

Go champion 🏆

Nakamura succesfully lured Carlsen into the woods where he got severly beaten up. Absolut clinic from Carlsen.

To be honest I’m sort of disappointed in another opening failure from Nakamura especially this time could have been prevented by putting it in the database and see if the opponent is familiar with it! Sharp opening is always drawish if everyone comes out very well prepared

Such an awful position to play as White. Brilliant opening for Black when it comes to practical play. All the moves were so natural and for White everything seemed very subtle and difficult. Felt the awkwardness of White pieces even from the home couch.

When Naka played d3 it was already over - surely an awful move!

Hakamura chopped up!

dont like armageddon analysis too much because one side has to win and makes moves according to this, Naka said in his analysis that he made deliberately inferior moves because he wanted to keep the game alive instead of making a draw because for him draw=loss and it did not matter if he loses

Worst Nakamura game I’ve ever seen 🤯

i used this openning to test opponent strenght !! ha ha ha ha :-) i don't care hikaru loses his mind on testing it king 👑 magnus! kramnik won't do that! he will used pirc on it!

Hikamura blundered!! e4 e5 f4 exf4 should be followed by Bc4!!! 🤣🤣
