Magnus Carlsen Vs. Hikaru Nakamura - Blitz 2010 World Championship

[nopackdrill]

v nice apprehended tactics

[Odhinn222]

rosenborg7 I don't know who said he should castle, but it wouldn't be the first time Nakamura illegally castled, lol.

[Pshoeshus]

sooooooooooooooooo

[rosenborg7]

You keep mention that Nakamura should casle, but how is that possible when he already have moved his king?

[xactxx]

At 12:05, it says Nakamura loses on time. Actually, it's Carlsen who lost on time!

[damthatriver09]

Seriously how did Naka let carlsen fork him in the end? lol

[SuperShakespeare]

nice vid - in the game Hikaru was clearly better but let Carlsen off the hook with 25 Rxh6 with an equal position left - and Carlsen missed a killer tactic on move 33. g5!! instead of exchanging the rooks turns the table completely

33. Rxh5 34. Bxh5+ with a rook invasion via the e file - complete disaster

33. ....Rg6 34. Rh7 with a likewise disaster

[serichejr]

what does blitz game mean?

[NimacTry2]

good comments man... cheers

Nakamura won the ICC Open (blitz) quite recently .. around 600 strong entrants including KingsCrusher who came a very creditable 22nd .. worth checking out what a phenomenal blitz player Nakamura is via kc's channel

[OnlineChessLessons]

@AlanWattParrot I actually covered 2 of Naka's games from the ICC Blitz championship, including one of his few losses.

Check them out:

I'm friends with Tryfon and I asked him to send me a PGN to cover one of his games from the championship, but we never got around to it, perhaps I'll get around to it one of these days.

[AlanWattParrot]

@OnlineChessLessons i'd better keep my big mouth shut til i check out all your vids Will xD

[tobolskwildnet]

Good game! And splendid of the knowledge to make, 2 champions GMI.

[AFiddler19]

I really like how you when in to possible lines and explanations for the certain moves. Great video.

[AlltimeTrance]

I love the G6 pawn move, maybe Magnus would have seen that with more time.

[OnlineChessLessons]

@AlltimeTrance thats a tough move to find, but magnus does play like a computer so theres a good chance he would have seen it

[IndrasBlade77]

@OnlineChessLessons Actually he's more positional as Kasparov emphasised, but yes he's tactically very good as well of course.

[grischnach]

Hikaru no Chess !!!!

[liebstandarteadolf]

Nakamura looks like a Down Syndrome sufferer.

[surfsoccer11]

naka actually does lose on time this game haha right when he plays Bc2 he realizes his time is up /watch?v=xOs17t4SyyI u can see it there

[CaptainSvy]

Amazing video and explanation,

[2530611]

Very good!! I will participate more in ChessAjedrez. Hugs.

[FearDeniesFate]

@OnlineChessLessons Just a small thing I personally would think could improve the video, when you say the name at 3:10 maybe make a small note appear with the written name in the corner or write the name in the description, other than that, great video :)

[xactxx]

You can watch this game being played in this video: /watch?v=xOs17t4SyyI

[moviecritic6]

The time control was actually 3min+ 2 seconds per move. Not like it matters because the games end up being the same length anyway, but just though I would tell you.

[OnlineChessLessons]

@moviecritic6 thanks i dont know how i missed that

[SMCB285]

What engine do you use?

Great vid btw.

[OnlineChessLessons]

@SMCB285 i almost always do videos without an engine, and actually rare use them to study either. in this video i referenced computer lines i heard from others. for a great free engine, i recommend stockfishchess

[SMCB285]

@OnlineChessLessons Ok, thanks I'll check it out. Kepp up the vids!

[Ariel1Dominguez]

@OnlineChessLessons stockfish. a great open source. even better that some non free engines.

[colourmegone]

First thanks very much for putting the game transcript in pgn format in the description. A great improvement. You said that Black's 3... Nf6 forces 4. e5. I play this line all the time and can testify that 4. Bg5 can give Black a lot of problems if he doesn't play accurately. The idea is trade the bishops (Black must play 4... Be7) and then try to penetrate the black squares in the centre with a knight. It's also possible to apply pressure to the king's side after Black castles.
