Mamedyarov crushed by Nakamura, World Blitz Chess Championship, Moscow, 16 Nov 2010

[JNSvideos]

Dont understand why he didnt take the pawn on d5 the move before Nakamrua played g4..

[uttersman1]

hey bumblebee i dont know of mamedyarov, but in this game he played defensively and because of which had no tempo or offensive postion after the blunder to play off of.

[charlesfloyb]

So, if h7xNg6, Bxe5+...Kh7, f5xg6+...Qxg6, Rxf8...Rxf8, Nf6+ Kh6, but then what? I guess Mamedyarov is resigning because he's a piece down with no attack. But then, isn't this blitz?

[weetabicks1]

Shak gets smacked.

[sebastiengau]

what is that game

[mikko522]

atmove 12 Naka had a pretty move Ng3 instead of Bg3 Mamedyarov blundered with 15....Bg7 he needed to secure the bishop post at f5 by trying h5

Mamedyarov is a GREAT player... Top 10 in the world. And his blitz is also phenomenal, but he really got worked in this game.

Nakamura tends to make even other Super-GM's appear amateur at times. xD

I'm a 2600-level blitz player on ICC, and I have seen many great games from Mamedyarov... even had the privilege of being hammered by him a few times myself in 3+0 (didn't even sniff a draw, let alone a win!).

I definitely think he was beaten psychologically right out of the opening...

[chumbucket843]

pretty embarrassing bishop trap. even i could see potential for that many moves ahead and im certainly no GM. i think mamedyarov opened very poorly which led to his loss. naka is known for using obscure openings though.

[youvebeensmoked]

Reminds me of Fischer-Spassky where Bobby got trapped.. although not quite this embarrassingly..

[rookman64]

@youvebeensmoked Bobby trapped himself...you really think he didn't see that his bishop was going to be trapped? It was psychological.

[janweltevreden]

@youvebeensmoked Actually its been proved by computers and human study that fischer could have STILL got a draw after his bishop-corner blunder against spassky. (He DID get 2 pawns for the bishop remember)

[martiand2]

After Kh6 Qh5 :)

[TheStebbinz]

@martiand2 if Qh5, pxQ..

[bzkaa]

What was the reason to resign?

[TheStebbinz]

@bzkaa after black takes the knight on g6, white takes blacks dark squared bishop with check.

[bzkaa]

@TheStebbinz yeah, I saw that. So white gets a bishop for a knight, what's the big deal?

[TheStebbinz]

@bzkaa He gets mated. after BxB+, white plays Nf6+. its a mating patern

[bzkaa]

@TheStebbinz Nf6+ will lead to Kh6. I don't see the mate yet.

[TheStebbinz]

@bzkaa after Kh6, white can play Rc4 or even Qe1. Just look at the board

[drgnight17]

poor shak, he was so sick of the game he even missed Ng6+

[jakecarlos]

Chess should be played like this all the time to make it more interesting to other people. I love it!!!

[Fupper16]

g4! Mamedyarov must've wanted to kill himself after that move ... trapped like a patzer!

[bumblebee1607]

Mamedyarov has a great fighting spirit.

Here we see a blunder... happens in blitz games...

[luckystrke]

Ouch! I bet he was thinking about resigning throughout the whole game...
