May-23-20  MordimerChess: That's armageddon game where Hikaru Nakamura with legendary blitz ranking 2900 had to just draw against Levon Aronian to win the mini-match. And his solid game was just too much to break thru.

Aronian got slightly better position but it was impossible to convert it to the win in blitz format.

Enjoy!

May-24-20  Jambow: Man this is Nakamura playing inspired chess... I always enjoyed his creative play. Seems like he was uninspired for a bit maybe he is making a comeback? What ever the case it was a fun game...
