Apr-03-08   Judah: 70/155 moves were Knight moves.
May-21-08   Supergrandmaster: I want to add, as a random sidenote, that I too consider H. Nakamura to be a player of unsurpassed creativity and sublime accuracy. His abilities terrify me in their clear ideological superiority. If ever I were to suggest a serious program of study to a player who feels he is at the end of his creative abilities in chess (that is to say, he discovers nothing new about himself in even 100 games), Nakamura would be one of the subjects whose games he should study exhaustively and annotate copiously. He would be one of among a list of perhaps 5 or 10 players of all time!

Dec-25-08   Eduardo Leon: Oh, my God!
Dec-31-08   WhiteRook48: NN lost to Bacrot in exactly the same moves.
Jan-06-09   WhiteRook48: 131. Kf3? why did Crafty not prevent the e-pawn from promoting?

Jan-31-09   WhiteRook48: oh, great. Here we go again
Feb-27-09   WhiteRook48: not a crafty guy
Mar-06-09   WhiteRook48: why not 25 Bf2?
Apr-22-09   dovif: Bf2 Nf4

N+P for a R

Computer prefer 2P for a B

May-29-09   champsylove: Such high praise for Nakamura.
Where would I start on my journey to chess renaissance creativity?
Jun-11-09   heizfeld: Nakamura is very creative
A rough slap into the face of the pathetic "A.I."
Jul-22-09   Dredge Rivers: A horse, a horse,
my kingdom for a horse! :)
Oct-26-09   ongyj: Why didn't Crafty resign?
Oct-28-09   CeeFoR: Computers don't resign unless their masters do it for them.

  computer chess guy: <Computers don't resign unless their masters do it for them.> Not so .. Crafty will resign when its evaluation gets too low (it is configurable).

  alexmagnus: The NN vs Bacrot game looks like the copy of it... Is it for real? If yes, Nakamura played probably the longest copied game ever:)

  alexmagnus: In case of the Bacrot game, the exact date is on the scorsheet. Is it possible to trace the date of submission?
