#chess #blitz #gmhikaru

[@WillieGaldamez]

he promoted to a bishop and grisckunk was like " oh you fancy huh"

[@fabiotrucco1626]

Hikaru can have a lost position through 30 moves and still enjoy a comfortable advantage

[@freakclub99]

I wish chessvibes would also upload videos from the 2010 Shanghai Masters

[@feee99]

might be nice to see a little board graphic and maybe time graphic too... thanks for posting these videos.

[@CompassionOverFear94]

Intro sounds knocked me out of my chair...

[@AG-wg4zi]

Can you spot Magnus?

[@zyonwilliams5938]

in the backround lol

[@maximschoofs]

magnus carlsen playing in the background....where can I find his game?

[@jonsmith5509]

Believe it or not, it actually would have helped. I know Grischuk would obviously take any piece that Nakamura promoted, but when Naka promoted to a bishop, even if Grischuk didn't take, it would still be a draw (opp colored bishop + endpawn = draw). Promoting to a bishop is atually the worst piece because it will end up in a draw no matter what. So I'm not sure why he promoted to a bishop - for show I guess. I know they are all technically the same (at their level), but I'm answering ur dumb q.

[@pineapplepeanuts]

I love that about him :-p Opponents that don't know him must think he's nuts

[@shiryu008]

he saved the draw, finaly,

[@errsga]

Pawn on g2 is a fucking alien!!

[@zaiivonhest]

Nope, could have been though, but its something else :)

[@worldtomelt]

cant see it.

[@NormanMinetaTestimon]

So, Nakamura got the draw I take it.

[@nandulagautam7017]

i didn't like Grischuk opening up the queenside

[@elidolo2583]

8:57 u mad Nakamura???

[@CristianoSperansa]

Because he will lose his queen anyway, with a bishop and the king is not possible win.

[@AnthonyAllGood]

how the hell did grischuk manage to blow this?

[@fabiotrucco1626]

Nakamura had two passers for the lack of the bishop, not so easy dude

[@daniellinanmolina1044]

blitz chess. hikaru had two pawns for the bishop, one of them far away. it was tough

[@ODemir-gh7bn]

What opening was nakamura playinguhh?

[@Drag0nzeyes]

Dutch: Leningrad I think

[@lustdany]

Ozan Demir English Opening

[@radiotv624]

Nakamaura played the dutch defense and Grishuk played the English opening with 1.c4 (fianchetto variation)

[@airaimanmohdkhairi955]

Is nakamura always lose or what

[@TheTricktracktruck]

So Nakamura resigned?

[@mrsea5697]

I think it's a draw

[@vincentn51]

magnus playing in the back ground :D

[@56theincredible]

at 10:08 that is actually against the rules, the pawn must be moved to the promotion square and then the pawn should be replaced by the piece.

[@juanscacchi6253]

Does anybody know the name of Nakamura's opening in the very beginning?

[@diegosuarez170]

English Opening: Anglo-Dutch Defense.

[@michamotyka648]

It's leningrad dutch

[@joseraysouza]

[@Fitnam_]

At 10:10 you can hear Grishuck saying "draw?"

[@adrianrivera2486]

[@oussamaelbakkali536]

[@MrBlody90]

[@jorge1791]

Because is draw anyway

[@TheSwanlake2009]

Why does white always go first?!

[@mrsea5697]

The rule

[@loganido]

its a racist game

[@dionlindsay2]

In the 18th Century if people were playing a match with multiple games they sometimes kept to one colour throughout, and took turns to move first.
