that endgame calculation was mind blowing!

great calculation by naka

He was clarifying something to people who have already watched the video, not sure WHY you checked the comments before watching the video,

They are both calculating machines naka is just so creative and tricky... Great Win

Как четко и быстро Накамура высчитал концовку! Впечатлило!

that was an excellent game!

and hand shake doesnt mean resign.. it means a draw.. I know he couldnt win so he did that because of the trebuchet position but technically you would think he could say Nakamura agreed to a draw..

Very good angle, just make it HD next time :).

@ravras I have also seen sensor boards, that will also record the time, so players don't have to bang clocks.

I think kramnik overlooked the potential of the bishop g4 was a blunder though he seized an initiative on the king side attack Nakamura is smart with endgames.

5:20 Kramnik sacrafices a rook by the king, black bishop takes it, white bishop takes the black one, black has to make a move (doesn't matter what, he'll lose), white rook checkmates

amazing

Nakamura looks as aggressive player in many games,, but in fact he is not... He is pure a saved player...

You must read some comments before to know is the video is reliable or complete. But anyway, you're right...

impressive endgame calculation.. go naka

Why not? Because you'll read things related to the video, and discussion about it between people who have already watched it. If you want to avoid getting spoilled just watch the video first and then read the comments.

i dont know if anyone mentioned this, but the way Nakamura was playing with that Pawn made me lose focus lol

It was 3 min + 2 sec. It's also considered blitzz but I agree that the games change a lot.

@cmonnnsi can you give exact moves in chess notation? No idea what you're saying here

@gentilguy yes, I think this win by Nakamura was because he had opposition on Kramnik. But what can Kramnik do to get the draw?

What's goooooo naka

I'm a beginner and could someone please explain to me what happened at 6:45? Why didn't he move his pawn to threaten the bishop, instead of exchanging his bishop?

Gooo nakaaaa!

Timeless

What kind of board are they using?

What specific model is this chess set?

Nakamura is a great chess player he could beat anyone he played

I didn't see the pawn behind the king at 6:40 and was like "why the hell doesn't either of them realize that black is in check??"

i need someone to correct me if im wrong but at 07:00 Kramnik had the chance to push the pawn to f5 , is it correct ?

Bravo Naka

zugzawng

@Nickalispicalis true,but Kramnik was WCH,i think that says enough.

that is pretty funny, it proves that these guys are human

Look at Karjakin in the background! :D

Darude - Chesstorm

hikaru made a touch move mistake.. he promoted his pawn but didnt put the queen

the opening was in Kramniks favor..?

I wish I had a cool chess name like Dramnik...

Like the was N calculates at the very end.

naka!!!

Well that Nakamura is too late had a very good movement forward and not have noticed if you saw the move to the tower was a pretty good move and did not or rather can not say he saw

Kramnik's g4 was a blunder i think @5:53

Nakamura is a good player:) only he is a few impulsive and may to make a error

Ohhh schnapp, Nakamura beat Kramnik ! :D

Why did he not move the king and then win one of the rooks with his bishop? (at 6.min 39 sec)

wow.....

@megaton12 You should watch the other game when kramnik sacrificese his queen and crushes good old hikaru:D hihi

@Immortalassassin1 ooh, so you noticed it too...

@vidas2010 If a pawn queens and there is also the starting queen in the game there must be 2 queens.

I dont wanna know the result before watching...

Blader if be4+ then f5 and defense!

at the begining they just use premade movements and later they dont think that much...

allright there is f5, but anyway after Ree7 black must play Rg6 to avoid draw from repetition, and then the d5 pawn becomes scary, because blacks bishop and a4 rook are out of play.

you shouldnt read comments before you've seen the entire game dude

didnt kramnik miss the chance to win at 6.17? how can nakamura defend from Be4+ instead of taking the f7 pawn? i think Rg6 is forced. g6 runs into Rxf7+ and Rh8 mate, and Kh6 is mate again with Rh8. Am i missing something?

WHY NOT?

obviously nakamura could not have won if not for his frequent displays of finger dexterity. It psyches out his opponent! XD

I wonder how much money is in chess.

@linktruman23 Blitz chess doesn't take skill, so, it don't matter

@megaton12 thanks for ruining the vid :(

never should look at the comments on chess :)

just f5 after Be4+ i guess

The bishop would retreat and take the rook

then it'll take away all fun XD

no.. Kramnik was lost.. how's he protect that C pawn?

@scienceisknolwedge Bxf7 and f6+ doesnt help

H'mm, though i'm sure he wouldn't beat a certain, "monster from baku" . . .

see karjakin

It was a draw

@burns1112227 lol

just act as if they know how to play and do a lot of show

Blitz is like a crap shoot really. Anything can happen. If they played a 100 straight games, then you would have a better indicator who is the superior player. 1 or 2 games means nothing.
