@czurmuhl Akobian (white) was preparing to promote his pawn to a queen, and by a natural reaction, grabbed his queen in preparation. Nakamura (black) apparently thought the idea of Akobian promoting was ridiculous and returned the action.
@czurmuhl white player thought he was going to promote, nakamura (black) knew that was not going to happen, and he took it as an insult. So he grabbed his own to return the the bad manner.
@lucassm2 akobian took his queen over closer to himself so he would be able to place it on the board faster when his pawn gets to the far side of the board, to try and save time basically, nakamura said are you kidding because realistically he was never going to let him queen the pawn, he would have stopped it before it got there
If you don't know much about Akobian, he's got a massive ego problem -- he pays a hypnotist to hypnotize him and tell him he's the greatest player ever, so Naka's words are very suited as a taunt.
How lives change.. I remember playing against Nakamura when we were younger in C.I.S and N.S.C.F i quit at 1900..he kept playing and now hes top 6 in the world...crazy..I hope he gets to #1..I didnt have a good support system..parents didnt really like the time i spent on chess..doesnt seem like naka has changed lol..when he was younger he use to disrespect people on the board, tossing pieces etc ..he got punched in the world open for that too...hes competitive though..chess needs him!
@Thenextworldc Wow, that's unfortunate for you. I also didn't know he got punched at the world open. I'm a big fan of Nakamura, but I still have to admit it's funny.
@moviecritic6 Yes that was the last tournament I played. I believe it was about 5 years ago I was a freshman in college and I played the under 2000, he got punched by someone from Philadelphia. Yea now that Im older it bothers me because I think I could of been super strong I was 1800 at 16 with no coaching..Parents didnt like it. Not saying id be at these guys level but at least a master by now. Im going to make a push for it though..im only 25 now so I got time..Fabiano Caruana use to play too
@seppa15 Is that supposed to be a racial comment? the other guy looked too..what you dont know is how pairings work..GMS play along side GMS, chances are Naka and Akobian are super GMS so they are always near the top of the pairings (closer to board 1) so if those guys are sitting right next to Naka AND Akobian then chances are they are super strong as well..I cant make out who he is but I guarantee hes over 2400 USCF
Ego and insults aside, it is against the rules to talk to your opponent during a game , be it a long game, rapid-play mode, or blitz. The only exception is "I offer a draw" which can be repeated a maximum of 3 times, and of course "i resign" Apart from that, no other comment should be made. Had the official in charge had seen and heard nakamura's unsporting comment he may well of stopped the clock and warned him of his behaviour, and later a formal sanction could have been imposed on him.
at 0:31 Akobian does something illegal, you are suppose to press the clock, capture, and move your pieces with the same hand, and yet he used both of them
"are you kidding?". Nice one you fake half jap, you're doing something as arbitrarily meaningful as shooting a ball through a hoop or hitting a ball with a stick or any other activity where nothing is accomplished except the result of a stupid fucking game. You're such a bad ass. Show some humility you fucking idiot.

Actually hchoudh, Nakamura clobbered Carlsen at the World Blitz Championship, 3-1. And he demolished the mighty Aronian in Chess 960, 3.5-0.5. He drew against Anand in 2010, and defeated Kramnik (with Black). He also came ahead of Anand at Wijk aan Zee 2011, taking sole first place.
@SaintDufus You made that up about clobbering Carlsen at blitz championship. In the blitz championship players always play 2 games against each other. It would be hard to get a 3-1 score after only 2 games played. Also, I noticed you don't actually mention that Nakamura, self appointed by himself and his fans as the best blitz player in the world finished a very mediocre middle of the pack in the blitz championship. Guess it's much easier to beat the amateurs on ICC than play the pros.
@hchoudh1 I didn't "make it up," but I did get the event wrong: it was the BNbank blitz tournament in Oslo, not the World Blitz Championship (he didn't get invited to the WBC). Nakamura won all 12 of his games and then beat the reigning World Blitz Champion (Carlsen) 3-1.
I've seen him defeat elite players on ICC, not just "amateurs". The man is a blitz legend, definitely one of the best blitz players in the world.
why don't the organisers use some nice wood boards, the plastic stuff can't cope with the speed of Hikaru!!! The plastic pieces would have shot off the board and ended up in Murabs eye! (thats the guy next to Akopian)
@pinkbirdsfly NO WAY! Nakamura tactically owned him in the end. Every single move in the end was quickly calculated....cause it was such an easy technique for Nakamura. White had nothing in the end.
better forget your play with 5...d6? ( correct is for example 5...c6! ) or your play with 7...e5? ( correct is for example 7...Lf5 ) . After this two blunders it would have been better to give up the game. You need not Stockfish or Rybka , what you need is the CODE of chess and you will know what beauty in chess realy is. Have a look at my last three worldrecords and you will perhaps understand . You can find them here on youtube.com under the word . NEWEKLOWSKY
@georg3000 The player on the left (Akobian) is getting ready to queen. Nakamura has seen one move further and knows Akobian will not need that queen after all, if he does, Nakamura can get a queen also.
It would help if Nakamura played by the rules. He is supposed to leave his pieces properly set up before pressing his clock. If he tried that with me, and I knew the game were videotaped, I'd stop the clocks and call for the TD to penalize him. 1:24
@DavidForthoffer The board looks really flimsy. Its in the spirit of speed chess to keep the game going, so hassling around with the td would just aggravate both players
@QuakePhil: The board looks very flat, and is obviously not the reason pieces were getting knocked over. Although it is the spirit of coffee house speed chess to keep the game going, it is also the spirit of tournament chess to play by the rules. If I were playing Nakamura and he knocked his pieces over and replaced them on my time, I would call the TD and HOPE Nakamura got aggravated. OTOH, I'm a lot weaker now than when I regularly beat DeFirmian, Christiansen, Brandwein, and Kaplan.
@DavidForthoffer Oh you liar, you never were at a point where you were beating DeFirimian, Christiansen, Brandwein, OR Kaplan. I love how people on the internet love to make exaggerated claims about their chess abilities, IQ, etc. Stop it already
@angela1894: In that era, my slow chess rating was about 2250 and my quick chess rating (15-minutes for each player) was 2270. Why do you think it so impossible that my 5-minute rating was in the 2300 range? It should be EXPECTED that I would regularly beat 2450 rated people --- and Steve Brandwein was not THAT strong.
Without a doubt, the best chess video ever. Akobian grabbed his queen because if he thought he was going to be promoting his pawn and he didn't want to waste time reaching across the board to get it. Nakamura said something to the effect of "are you kidding?" and then grabbed his own queen, essentially ratcheting up the intensity of the game ten-fold. Nakamura ended up winning on time.
Competitive, intense, ill-will expressed in another players face... works for me. Chess needs more of this.
@lewiszim Then why grab the queen from the other side of the board? That what's Nakamura's "you kidding" comment was about. There is no need to do that.
@chessdrummer no, I mean once he promoted it he didn't replace it because by that point the rook was clearly going to just swipe it up. When he grabbed the queen it wasn't clear yet.
@lewiszim True, but in that position, any promotion would result in immediate capture. There was nothing else in the position. Besides, he didn't need to grab that queen and put it all the way on this side of the board. It was already much closer to the queening square where it was. Made no sense.
@TheMrLandon I love the confidence of Nak, in my opinion Akobian was trying to intimidate him and Nak simply let him know it wasnt going to happen today. awesome
at 0:10 Nakamura is touching his bishop ...he should have take it ...right? piece touche? then he look at Akobian to see if he 's got to take his bishop...hehe
I love the way Naka says "Are you kidding?!" after Akobian ,rather optimistically, took a queen. Its like hes saying; "Dont you know you are playing the best blitz player in the world?"
I know Magnus won the blitz championship, but if u knew Naka u d know that he thinks hes the best (blitz) player in the world so im correct and u r wrong to 'correct' me.
Admittedly I don't know Mr. Nakamura, but why didn't he win the world championship, allowing a 19 year old to snatch it?
I'm a relatively weak player, so I wouldn't dream of flaming these GM's, but you have yet to convince me, based on the given evidence, that Nakamura is better than Carlsen.
Oh, and saying "...so im correct and u r wrong..." isn't going to settle it this time. Please prove me wrong logically, because if I'd like to get my facts straight.
You dont understand! I never said I think Naka is the best (blitz) player in the world, I think Carlsen is too....Im just saying that Im sure Naka tinks that he is! Read my initial statement more carefully and u ll know what i mean.

@chessdrummer no, I mean once he promoted it he didn't replace it because by that point the rook was clearly going to just swipe it up. When he grabbed the queen it wasn't clear yet.
lewiszim 10 months ago
@lewiszim True, but in that position, any promotion would result in immediate capture. There was nothing else in the position. Besides, he didn't need to grab that queen and put it all the way on this side of the board. It was already much closer to the queening square where it was. Made no sense.

@chessdrummer Maybe, I can't see the exact position that well due to the quality and angle.

@TheMrLandon I love the confidence of Nak, in my opinion Akobian was trying to intimidate him and Nak simply let him know it wasnt going to happen today. awesome

The clock makes a soundwhwn the time was overstepped, which is stricly forbidden.
The game shouldbe repeated with a regular clock.

@234critic akobian ran out of time which is why nakamura pointed to the clock.

I love the way Naka says "Are you kidding?!" after Akobian ,rather optimistically, took a queen. Its like hes saying; "Dont you know you are playing the best blitz player in the world?"
Oegaboega12 2 years ago
that would be carlsen boss
Doublemac88 1 year ago
I know Magnus won the blitz championship, but if u knew Naka u d know that he thinks hes the best (blitz) player in the world so im correct and u r wrong to 'correct' me.
Oegaboega12 1 year ago
Admittedly I don't know Mr. Nakamura, but why didn't he win the world championship, allowing a 19 year old to snatch it?
I'm a relatively weak player, so I wouldn't dream of flaming these GM's, but you have yet to convince me, based on the given evidence, that Nakamura is better than Carlsen.
Oh, and saying "...so im correct and u r wrong..." isn't going to settle it this time. Please prove me wrong logically, because if I'd like to get my facts straight.
Doublemac88 1 year ago
You dont understand! I never said I think Naka is the best (blitz) player in the world, I think Carlsen is too....Im just saying that Im sure Naka tinks that he is! Read my initial statement more carefully and u ll know what i mean.
