  Eyal: From Nakamura's blog:

<Sorry, but I'm going to keep this short. I just got done with a tough game with Al-Madiahki. Basically what happened was I got tired and overlooked 54...c3. I saw the Kb5 h5 Ka4 h6 Rxa3 Kb1 Rb3 Kc2 Rb8 Kc3 variation but at that point when you get tired things happen.> (http://www.hikarunakamura.com/main/...)

  whiteshark: I think that <47.a4> was a dubious move.

The winning plan is to transfer wK to the Kside and start advancing his g+hPs. Black will create counterplay by advancing his dP, but that's eventually without result.

Starting position after <46...Kg1>:
