< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 5 OF 12 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-28-09    returnoftheking: thanks-now it works for me too- very slow/bumpy feed though. Nov-28-09    achieve: Carlsen was easily winning and miscalculated in timetrouble; this surprised me, as I did not see any reason to let the a-pawn run while up a pawn... Naka off the hook, Carlsen on the hook for a change... Nov-28-09    returnoftheking: < Naka off the hook, Carlsen on the hook for a change> Black (MC) looks winning to me. Nov-28-09    siamesedream: Nakamura - Carlsen 2-1. Nov-28-09    zarg: Good game by Naka! Nov-28-09    returnoftheking: How come I still see the game being played and you guys already know it's conclusion?:o Nov-28-09    siamesedream: < How come I still see the game being played and you guys already know it's conclusion?:o> There's delay on webcam. Live games: http://livechess.chessdom.com/site/ Nov-28-09    Jim Bartle: Because all the moves are prearranged. Didn't you know? Nov-28-09    dx9293: Magnus simply crushed Hikaru in Game 1, the other two games have been very entertaining! Nov-28-09    returnoftheking: Jim, in that case I don't think Nak would win a single game. Thanks <siamese> Nov-28-09    siamesedream: Standings: 1. Nakamura 2. Carlsen 3. Nielsen 4. Berg Nov-28-09    watermate: Naka has done it! Nov-28-09    Atking: Nakamura just won the match vs Carlsen Nov-28-09    Jim Bartle: I'm sure this won't heat up discussion on any player pages... Nov-28-09    baseballplayer: Surprised to see Nakamura beat Carlsen. Nov-28-09    supertimchan: Not very surprising. Nakamura has always been the the best blitz player and has beaten Carlsen many times on ICC...... Nov-28-09    zarg: ICC king Naka showed his class, after a bad start. Well done! Nov-28-09    dx9293: Wow. Wow. Wow. Who else could win three consecutive blitz games against Carlsen besides maybe his trainer?! Nov-28-09    turbo231: I told everybody that Naka has a quick mind. He beat Rybka, and Crafty! You can go to youtube and watch him beat Rybka. He made Rybka look foolish. Nov-28-09    The Rocket: nakamura was lost in 2 of his games vs carlsen.. now thats suprising! even more so that carlsen manages to lose that knight endgame a pawn up.. but perhaps they had seconds left by that point. Nov-28-09    The Rocket: "I told everybody that Naka has a quick mind. He beat Rybka, and Crafty!" LOL crafty? I mated crafty in a 5min blitz game as black!, and drawn it twice in 1min bullet games.. the icc version of crafty you get for free that is... I dont now know the estimated elo on it? Nov-28-09    metatron2: <ICC king Naka showed his class> Indeed, he proved he is not just an internet blitz "mouser", but a really great blitz player. I hope he'll (finally) participate in the next blitz WC, show us if he can really handle the elite over a long series of blitz games. Nov-28-09    Atking: <The Rocket: nakamura was lost in 2 of his games vs carlsen..> That's true but Nakamura keeping confidence and fighting spirit has my praise. Of course that's blitz and the lucky part is of value, but even with a little luck only few players can do what Nakamura did here. I'm with <zarg> here congratulate Nakamura is showing respect to Carlsen too and sportsmanship. Nov-28-09    MrMelad: Congratulations Nakamura for winning against Magnus! A great achievement for him although the quality of games was very low, Carlsen showed a very bad technique dropping his big advantages time and again. Carlsen will be eating himself up for missing so many winning moves... Nov-28-09    boz: <nakamura was lost in 2 of his games vs carlsen> Are you saying the first half of the game is more important than the second half?
