This game brings to mind a video KC did on land a psychological blow at the right time. Aronian landed two in this game, and it really comes across in the video. It's amazing Nakamura was able to continue as he did, great effort. But you can see just how much pressure he's under, especially near the end there.
@jewbinson yeah, why not Qc2 instead? If you take a look at the video footage maybe it becomes apparent. Aronian had only like 7 seconds left at this move, and maybe he thought that this ending is easier to play or something ...
This game was sick!

I think he lost that game by not going for Dxd6. Don't see why he didn't do that.
