 | | saffuna: Move 36: 35 minutes to 7 minutes. |

| | saffuna: Commentators speculate that Caruana hadn't seen 27. h4. White looks really strong with his knight on h1 dominating the board. |
|

| | saffuna: Chessbomb gives a big advantage to Nakamura after 38...h5. |
|
| Jun-26-22 | | Z free or die: Is this a <CG> live game not advertised as such? |
|

| | saffuna: Yes..... |
|

 | | Stonehenge: Let's call it semi-live. You'll have to refresh the page once in a while yourself. |
|
| Jun-26-22 | | Z free or die: Thanks <saff>, and especially <stone> (who I suspect is entering the moves). |
|
| Jun-26-22 | | Z free or die: After 42...h3 have we reached a super-critical point in the game for Naka to keep advantage? . |
|
| Jun-26-22 | | Z free or die: Nak finds 43.Ra2 (this looks very hard to convert to a win, despite engine eval. To me anyways.) |
|

| | saffuna: Computer says Nakamura messed up with 60. Kf4. |
|

| | saffuna: What an agonizing win. "Nakamura had to win it three times just in the endgame," according to the Hess/Rensch commentary. |
|
| Jun-26-22 | | HaydenB: Right. Back. In it. Huge win for Nakamura. Masterful use of his King. |

 | | PawnSac: Saffuna: yes it was a monumental win. Impressive win AND defense. |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: 25.Nh1!! One of the great defensive master strokes; as <saffuna> writes, that Knight truly dominates the board. |
|
| Jun-27-22 | | BxChess: Apparently 21. Ng3 was mixed up move order by Nakamura. It is the computer's 5th best move. It sent Caruana into a long think and he was pressed for time until move 40. The 5th best move on move 21 is what it takes to get these guys out of preparation. |
|

| | saffuna: Caruana: "I think he could have ended the game like two or three hours ago. But he gave me some hope, which was torture in the end...I guess he missed h3..." |
|
| Jun-27-22 | | George Wallace: This must be Naka's best game ever. First of all, it's a treat to see the Dilworth in action once again. It leads to such an unbalanced position, it's hard to see how to play it for White, but Naka gives us a textbook example. White played with such patience. Nimzo himself would admire the way White restrained and then blockaded the menacing black pawn phalanx, and especially how White first blockaded Black's advanced e-pawn with a bishop and then with the knight. 25.Nh1 is truly brilliant looking, reminiscent of Nimzo's famous Nh1, but here I think it must be a necessity. Before 25.Nh1, White looks like he's all tangled up, as if Black will somehow strike while White's pieces are stepping on each other's toes, but it doesn't happen. Naka found a way out. In terms of complexity and imbalance, this game reminds me of Spassky-Fischer, the Alekhine game. 43.Ra2 - how do you find a move like that?
I'm sure if Nakamura puts out a "My 60 Memorable Games" book, this one will be in it. |

 | | FSR: The Dilworth is one of the very few important opening lines that gives Black a plus score. Opening Explorer But Nakamura handles it masterfully here. |
|
| Jun-27-22 | | George Wallace: Nakamura's recap of this game is brilliant.

| Jun-27-22 | | Ulhumbrus: After 21 Ng3 a look at the computer evaluations suggested that 21...Bd3 was an error. Black has two extra pawns in the centre but he needs to make them count. His d5 pawn is pinned. 21...Be6 unpins the d5 pawn and so prepares the advance ...d4. A look at the computer evaluations suggested that 21...Be6 would lead to a win for Black. A look at the computer evaluations suggested that 22...c4 advanced the wrong pawn and that 22...e4 was the right move. A look at the computer analysis suggested that although both 22...c4 and 22...e4 would lead to a similar pawn formation 22...e4 was better because it would induce the move 23 Nh4 placing the knight on the rim where it could get trapped. Nakamura then found some very strong resources such as the computer might come up with such as 25 Nh1 supporting f4 and g3 until this cover was no longer needed and the advance h4 and h5 taling space away from Black. In the final stages Nakamura displayed the same determination that Caruana had displayed in the previous round, fighting one battle after another for hours until he finally won the game. If both players committed errors it fell to Caruana's lot to make the last error. |
