| euripides: 47 Kg3 is the outcome of a fince piece of triangulation by Nakamura. After 47...Kg6 the plan followed in the game would lead to a draw, but White can then play 47 Kf3 Kf6 48 Ke4 Ke6 49 Kd4 Kd6 50 Kc4 Ke5 51 Kb4 Kf4 52 Kxa4 Kg3 53 Kb4 Kxh3 54 a4 Kxg4 55 a5 Kh3 56 a6 g4 and White wins by a move. |

| iron maiden: <Gregor Samsa Mendel> That is true. But these days anything Nakamura does seems to draw comparisons to Fischer. |

| Minor Piece Activity: Actually Karjakin is known for precise technique too; see his win over Kramnik for one example. Naka only makes it seem easy to beat him in this game. |

| jaime gallegos: Nakamura is also a great blitz player ! His style ( and its very likely well-supported for chess programms and huge amounts of blitz games and blitz chess ideas )is many times positional but in others is tactical and combinative ... with chess players like him we can undoubtedly enjoy a lot of excellent matches and tournaments ! |

| iron maiden: Nakamura's blitz skills are certainly well-hyped. I wish he'd get to try them against some of the elite-level players so that we could see how good they really are. |

| SnoopDogg: <iron maiden> Nakamura did lose 4-0 to Karjakin right before this closing ceremony a couple a days ago in a blitz match to everyone's surprise so said Chessbase in there article. Nakamura vs. Anand 2005 3 min + 0s!! ::wishes in sleep:: |

| Chessmaster 9000: Slightly better is 21... Kg8, leading to 22. Rb1 Rd8 23. fxe5 Bxe5 24. Bf4 Ne4 25. Nxe4 dxe4 26. Bxe5 Qxe5 (Time=0:17, Depth 1/8) Continuation of the game would be: 55... Kg8 56. Kh6 Kf7 57. g6+ Kg8 58. g7 Kf7 59. Kh7 Ke7 60. g8=Q Kd6 61. Qc4 Ke7 62. Qxa4 Kd6 63. Qd4+ Kc6 64. a4 Kc7 65. a3 Kb7 66. Qb6+ Ka8 67. a6 (Time=2:04, Depth=15/19) |

| The Saint: An extra pawn in the endgame to a Master like Nakamura - is sure defeat to his opponent anytime! |
|

| PinkPanther: Nakamura would be destroyed by Anand at 3 0 time controls. Absolutely mauled. |
|

|
| iron maiden: How good is Anand supposed to be at bullet chess? |
|
| Dec-21-04 |
| PinkPanther: I don't know, probably good, but that is irrelevant. |

| OzDrifter: <Shams> im pretty sure that the N must come to f3 early for it to be open. |

| waddayaplay: <SADDAM: But actually he [Karjakin] was lost even if he doesnt trade rooks>. How does white win after 44..Rb8?

| Whack8888: Blitz chess is so stupid, I am glad no major sponsers support that BS |

| Hot Logic: Hasn't Karjakin heard of something called 'the opposition'? I don't understand why he doesn't resign several moves earlier as he is clearly lost as soon as Nakamura's king gets in front of the g-pawn. |

| TheBB: I kinda like that they played out those last moves. :) |

| Crowaholic: <tpstar: It should be very easy for White's King to triangulate and gain the opposition, then pick off the Pg5.> Queening is indeed easy: 55. ..Kg8 (only move) 56. Kh6 Kh8 (only way to keep White from playing Kh7, at least for now) 57. g6 Kg8 (only move) 58. g7 Kf7 (only move) 59. Kh7 (any) 60. g8=Q 56. Kf6 doesn't work because of the very stalemate that 55. Kg6 tries to avoid, or the usual kind of stalemate with black king on g8, white king on g6, white pawn on g7 and black to move. White's only winning option would be to repeat back to the position before Kf6: 56. ..Kh7! 57. Kf7 Kh8 Kg6 |

| Chessmensch: Exactly the kind of finale that Silman teaches early in his endgame course book. |
|

| vizir: <euripides> is totally right an better try might be 47...Kg6 hoping for 48.h4?? gxh4+ 49.Kxh4 Kh6 with a draw. Black reaches c8 in time. Indeed white was still wining with 48.Kf3! and the resulting position is winning for white (see euripides' comment), because the black pawn is a knight-pawn and no stalemate defense appears as with rook or bishop pawns. |

| kevin86: I seem to remember a recent game with a similar ending. A little deja-vu all over again. White had to avoid 54 g6+ which draws to  h8! after which both g7+ g8 g6 stalemate or f7 stalemate are poor endings for the white side. Happy Cinco de Mayo-everyone!!! |
