Nakamura beats Carlsen, World Blitz Chess Championship, Moscow, 17 Nov 2010

[MADMAC572]

Someone needs to teach chess players how to shake hands after and before a match. They do it in such an effiminate and weak manner - like they're not men.

[rcrespo357]

this is CGI.

[fivebetshove]

can someone please explain to me why at 5:07 it says Carlsen's time is 0.28, but then at 5:24 it has gone up to 0.31?? What am I missing?

[rumster01]

@fivebetshove +2 seconds per move

[MrMoritzmunch]

lol, this is fake, Carlsen never loses.. :D

[rcrespo357]

@MrMoritzmunch exactly

[whisperienced]

At 3:01 the cameraman is like hmm let's look at Magnus... then "OH SHIT, he's making a move" That camera pan was the most action in recorded chess history.

[KaMeHaMeHaMeHAA]

who is that kid on the right side HE LOOKS LIKE ME WHEN I WAS A KID OMG SAME FACE O_O

[mfrizzle90]

That 4 year old kid wanted to go ham on some chess pieces!

[SteelPokemonFan]

7:26 - Doesn't Ng3 win the rook? Why did Nakamura play Bf4?

[cmonnnsi]

@SteelPokemonFan the pawn?

[Krtekcze]

@SteelPokemonFan It wins the rook but with a huge compensation for white. 1... Ng3 2. Vhe5 fe and 3. Kf2! only move Ne4+ 4. Be4 de (double pawn) and g5 with an unclear game

[TheEverburningFathom]

Those kids in the background don't even have a clue to what's going on. Dang, I wish I could have that honor.

[mm13501]

6:17 Nakamura has cheats under that piece. :)))

[Marcuzzorox]

Wow.

[Patttriottt]

Nakamura - just fantastic play

[tanukitejon]

why doesnt Carlsson take pown on h7 with bishop?

[Sianistic]

Carlsen took a fairly long time seeing h4 as a responce to rg8

[danpt2000]

Can someone like Carlsen or Nakamura ever get married?

[HarryPotterDude1000]

@danpt2000 Actually, now I come to think about it, I know of no proffessional chess players that are married...

[DavidAlanRogers]

@HarryPotterDude1000

Anand is married.

[Apoic123]

@danpt2000 lol , probably that why they legalized it.

[Renzodeath]

Rxh6!

I don't think Carlsen's game was "clearly" better than Nakamura's. Do not forget Carlsen is struggling for compensation cause he got three pawns for a piece (however it wasn't three clean pawns).

[wallstreetatheist]

Is it normal for the clocks add 1-2 seconds after every move?

[MrChamp51]

I finally found a pro game that was in person! I hate the online matches.

[VivaMydick]

he ran out of time

[urzareaper]

what a pity, carlsen's game was clearly better than naka's

[bestvitalic]

black*



[bestvitalic]

owtch to much pression, very very mistakes for balck and for white

[Kampy187]

what a crappy ending

[Guk1981]

[argonaaut]

The move 15 g6! would have crushed black, but that was obviously a very hard move to spot, especially since the e5 knight had been protecting the g6 square before it went to g4 and even so it is still overprotected.

[argonaaut]

any significant mistakes(the computer thinks 12 Be2 is better than 12 Bd3 although I'm not sure I agree...if the black knight comes to c4 white will have to exchange his bishop for knight anyway so why not play it actively to d3 where it puts pressure on black's weakened kingside) and indeed he is right!

[argonaaut]

Interestingly enough it was Naka who was first to blunder (even though he obviously prepared this opening) with 14...Ng4. You can almost see on Carlsen's face that he doesn't understand how black could be getting so much play in a position where White hasn't made

[Stunnedstudios]

lol chess

[accuristau]

These guys think they're good. But they've never played ME!

[mynameismrdragon87]

a boy that watching will become first chess champion fall asleep during final

[thelifeforreal]

NERDSSS!!!!

[janweltevreden]

Probably no clapping due to the fact that other games were going on. What a STUNNING result! Carlsen losing with the white pieces, and against an obscure line of the french(.. . . g5!? )Nothing like a surprise move in blitz to unsettle your opponent! Nakamura is a class act, NO doubt about that.

[charlesfloyb]

Carlson's flag falls in a lost position.

[GoldenJoe]

Never was a blitz fan.

[Crabitat]

Re: White's Ps on h4 and g5. Couldn't they get a full set of the same pieces?!

[medicplz]

no pride in winning on time.

[YtubeUserr]

@medicplz The position was lost too for Carlsen after the knight fork on the king and rook. Anyways, forcing your opponent into time trouble by making the position difficult for him so that he errs is a strategy in blitz.

[neocrysis91]

Carlsen thought for too long a time after Rg8! by Nakamura, but both of them played a very remarkable game! :)

[warLock21X]

powerful*

[warLock21X]

i think nakamura wears the ring on his middle finger as a sign of im poweful, fuck you. lol

[EpiphoneArchtopLover]

@warLock21X or maybe it's just too big to fit his other fingers?? if he wanted to show power he would wear it on the right index or left pinkie, like a signet ring.

[javierbrindis]

Why the cameraman can not be with the camera still on the board?

[tyrone0ferrara]

Nice video, I'm going to add this to my favorite list.

[KnightedMagi]

i think that nakamura was fiddling with the pawn just to annoy magnus

[yakebento]

it's so quiet after the game finished. i was expecting clapping and cheering after this final match of the tournament finished.

[bumblebee1607]

@yakebento

It is not final. Second day game.

[crazyim5]

@yakebento thats becoz other games are going on

[Fupper16]

Nice preparation with Rybka! Rybka is fantastic at demolishing the French!

[numbcore]

7:54 Nakaa gave his middlefinger :D

[kingscrusher]

Thank you for this video - I have video annotated this game now on my channel - and also sent a reply link request from this video. Best wishes, K.

[TheStebbinz]

That little kid has no idea how lucky he is to be there..

[esquadmiller]

Carlsen lost on time. The game wasn't over yet.

[Kphyl]

@esquadmiller however, nakamura was obviously winning in the final position anyway haha, so it didnt matter. Time would only prolongue the inevitable defeat of mag.

[qadrathejutt]

come on naka you are the best when it comes to blitz chess.

[Exmerch]

Nakamura looks so cocky.. well he should finish top 10 in blitz ok maybe a bit lower like 12th place but totally not lower than 15th place.

[renumeratedfrog]

I love Nakamura's mannerism... He has 30 seconds on the clock and he still reaches out for a pawn to twiddle it. :)

[1d4win]

Thank you for sharing this!

Advancing your g-pawn is always good fun, no matter the opening.

[offrampt]

My god! Thanks again for uploading these; they are brilliant!

[luckystrke]

7:50 Carlsen had the winning g5! instead of recapturing the rook. because of Bxh5 if Rx, followed by Re7

[zibbit]

Didn't Nakamura miss like a million chances to just go ...Ng3 winning the poorly placed rook on h5?

[elbay2]

@zibbit I thought that too..

[svisves]

Thanks for sharing this (and all the other videos)! I am happy for Naka!

[skinnyjohnsen]

Carlsen should have won! After R x h6 instead of taking back with the rook, he could have gone g5! After R x R bishop x R check and Nakmura loses bishop b7 ;-)

[LuxusOhr]

g5 !

[bumblebee1607]

@LuxusOhr

Yeah, pretty creative play by Nakamura. You would expect this move in... some variations of the accepted King's gambit, not in the French Defence... Nice effort by Naka...

[Mauspelz]

@bumblebee1607 That is not exactly true. It's quite a common idea to undermine white's center in some French variations by g5, as Naka did

[IndigoBassNotes]

@bumblebee1607 Question is... At what point do you think GM Carlsen's opening prep ends ?. I love the way GM Nakamura likes to leave the main lines and find creative ways to play and WIN.

[Zakdayak]

g5 is a Botvinnik type of move...

[Zakdayak]

It's nice to see my favorite defense!!
