I'm really starting to love Nakamura's playing style. He's such a human player, overly aggressive perhaps, but Naka really shows the soul of the game. These kinds of games are why I started to play chess in the first place. Maybe it's not always about winning but rather about the beauty of the game. And he clearly shows guts and balls.

[@EsmReparlana]

Love his games, favorite sacrifice video for me,

[@jayanthc1990]

awesome man!!! When can we have the next video in evolution of chess series...? I think that's one of the best playlists on youtube :)

[@Ghostlycraziness]

Nakamura is really good have you seen his ecf rapid grade crazy

[@plower221]

For the 6:47 move, would a bishop to H3 sac be good? If the pawn takes then its mate with the g pawn.

[@GoonCity777]

O.......M......G Yesss! The gift that keeps on giving

[@PriveGitaarles]

rumor goes that he played these sacrifices a couple of years earlier already in a bullet brawl

[@acyphium]

First of all, good analysis is the key theme which makes this "8 sac" (I call them in that way :) ) serie much more fun to watch. KC, I'd been wondering that why 8? not 5 or 10. Tnx in advance...

[@jomic9060]

he is without question, a top 5 player in the world. i dont care what or where his rating ranks him. hes in the top 5.top 7 in the very least.

[@Attlanttizz]

Good games :)

[@inconnu299]

chess is the most beautiful game on earth. Someone said that there are more possible chess combinations than the number of stars in the universe. thx kc

[@ChrisVaust]

There are many, many more possible chess positions than stars in the universe. Roughly, we think there are about 10^25 stars and about 10^50 reachable chess positions. What our one sun is to the number of stars in the universe, the number of stars in the universe is to the number of reachable chess positions.

[@Swarm_]

hulk0hulk there are 10^25 times more reachable chess positions

[@danpt2000]

Chris Vinall The game of Wei Qi (Go) has even more possible positions than chess.

[@filbusdoesnotexist]

The one who said it was the great Garry Kasparov.

[@10coolfacts]

The third game, absolutely amazing. Beauty springs forth from a chaotic ugly position. 13:56

[@QueenRexy]

I'm guessing Qxf2+ then king takes, then Bc5+, king moves wherever on the f or e file. Then Rxf6+ but he can block with night or queen and I'd have no idea where to go from there. Let's find out :D

[@QueenRexy]

+Queen Rexy Oh my god I'm a fucking genius. And no one will believe that I didn't watch the video first lol. There's no way I'd see that if I were the one playing though. It's only more obvious because you know it's a sacrificial move. And there's definitely no way I'd see that if I were white. Also, *knight

[@michaelhammond4150]

In the third game ;Instead of N takes G2 what about Bishop to H3 threans mate and wins exchange and a better position and maybe mate

[@herzwatithink9289]

Naka = the ninja

[@abhishekganiger94]

why not g4 in the first game?? to avoid the quick mate and the king can escape too

[@joky42]

why wouldt'n you stop the mate with bf3 in first one? he would be ~even in material

[@danpt2000]

What? Nakamura born in 1987?! that makes him 27 years old only. Actually he won't be 27 for another week!
