If you watch 7 minutes in, notice Naka had moved h6 but about 30 seconds later he "adjusts" the pawn back to h7. ;) I appear to be the first to notice this? :)

@gacizawesome he was strengthening his king position

[CerebralAssassin1983]

damn...Naka's hand is quicker than the eye....look at him snatch those pieces :)

[phillyshell94]

at 8:31 what if once he leaves your board you fuck with his peices to make it look like you got him on mate?? lol

[TheEnglishEducator]

that pawn move at 2.28 finished it off it think...

[AnImmortalEra]

holy sh*t, BOOM it's like he stomps on the pieces. His pieces just totally stomp on his opponents pieces you don't even see him take the piece it's crazy lol, and intimidating

@AnImmortalEra

Its not so difficult to learn, you aim left of the place you want to hit (where the other piece is), and with one movement you just slam the piece on its spot, the last part of the movement being sideways. The pieces collide at the base and if everything goes right you have the opponents piece in your hand. And then you sort of smuggle it over and silently place it on the table.

Nakamura is going to be the next world championship.

[Myoldnamesdontwork]

oh my god these guys are noobs dropping pieces and knocking pieces while making their moves...how unprofessional..haha but thats not my point. my point is while everyone is focusing on the chess board for this video try to draw your attention to that asian dude in red shirt with white stripes sitting in the background lol hes like i need some weed...and the woman behind doesn't even care about the chess game she just want to be on camera staring at camera the whole time...what the hell...

[marcobecerrap]

Great guy!

[gsofficial]

I saw him do this at the National Scholastic Chess Championship to a master named Alex Betaneli a long, long time ago... his moves aren't being sped up. He really moves that quickly.

[BKPLDD1]

NAKA!

[melang164]

LOL look how fast he moves ! and look at naka's face .. he is like "this is too easy"

[sjkdec18]

Camera or timer should have been positioned on the other side! Nonetheless, thanks for the upload.

[wutv22]

@sjkdec18 Ah yes, I realized that shortly after filming. It was my first time recording a chess match and the crowd amassed rather quickly so I just had to go where I could. Thanks for the comment!

[TheEnglishEducator]

@wutv22 well the clock should be for the benefit of the crowd, not for the benefit of youtube...
