2010 World Blitz Championship: Nakamura Vs. Andreikin

Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura finished a disappointing 4th-5th (tied with Boris Gelfand) in Moscow at his first World Blitz Championship, but this game was a notable win in the home stretch as he busted out the Muzio Gambit variation of the King's Gambit and defeated World Junior Champion Dimitry Andreikin of Russia. The tournament was won by Levon Aronian, with Teimour Radjabov (2nd), Magnus Carlsen (3rd). Lots more videos on ChessVibes.com

Several mistakes have been made during this game. instead of 34. Rc1 for example, white could have played: 34. c4+ Kxd4 35. Rd1+ Kc3 36. Rf3+ Kb2 37. Rxd7.

andreikin sucks

[sardanaphalus]

Andreikin let Nakamura dominate the middle of the board for too long...

The sad thing is this guys play probably ten times as good as me in a 10 hour match :P

@MADMAC572 I completely agree after watching this game, it just showed me completely how superb Bobby Fischer was. These grandmasters of these days are no comparison.

@ea1997 He resigned, he was beaten. He made a series of moves I could not understand either. didn't make sense.
