Mar-17-21 Vachier-Lagrave vs Nakamura, 2021
|
pajaste: Carlsen invitational qualifier (2021) last rounds saw a bunch these Berliner Lopez draws, as these were games that didn't affect the results. Players probably didn't want to show their prep as the final rounds were about to begin. |

pajaste: This is about my thought process...
1.d4 ... Ah, ok, invitation to play the QGD, QGA, Tarrasch, or some move orderly 1...Nf6 ... Indian game, be it Nimzo, QID, KID, Old Indian 2.Bf4 ... Or London System, allowing some specific QGD, Slav, Semi-Slav, 2...c5 ... this is some high ... |
