| chessgames.com: While we're waiting for this to wind down, check out the entire game: Nakamura vs Ganguly, 2005, it involved a very odd opening and a sham-sacrifice of a rook. |

| DCP23: <cu8sfan>, quite right, he looks Indian, and India is part of the British Empire. Or was, anyway ;) |

| Robin01: Okay, after 53.bxc4, then 54.Nd5, how does Black make progress? |

| euripides: Ganguly showed strong nerves in the middlegame, abandoning the weak queen's side for excellent king's side play. 29...h4 is joyous. |

| Per: Wow! Has India given the world a new superstar..? |

| bishopawn: 11.f4 and 19.c4 seem like dubious moves. |

| Koster: Since when is Naka rated 2710? |
|
| Nov-28-05 |
| aw1988: USCF rates |
|

| samikd: India is going to be a major Chess Powerhouse in the near future, it seems. Lots of new talented young players. Especially in women's chess |
|
| Nov-28-05 |
| Koster: USCF ratings are inappropriate for FIDE events, and misleading too. In FIDE Ganguly is only about 100 points below Naka, not almost 300. |

| tpstar: Who says we have a "very odd opening" here?! This is the Modern Two Knights by transposition, with good play for both sides. (Maybe some of its proponents are very odd, but not the opening. ;>D) Although if White was in a must-win situation, the Max Lange with 6. exf6 dxc4 would have been unbalanced the whole way. Great play by Black - very smooth. |
|

| VishyFan: Nice win by Ganguly and good show of nerves in the end...... |

| Mateo: <Robin01: Okay, after 53.bxc4, then 54.Nd5, how does Black make progress?> 53.bc Kd3 54. Nd5 f2 55. Kf2 Kd2, Black wins. Ganguly played a perfect Bishop versus Knight ending. |
