| Feb-26-12 | | timhortons: A fan post at GM Nakamura website,i couldnt disagree that nakas fan are mostly ICC and playchess.com blitz player, as these people saw how he beat everyone at icc, some top 5 player even decided to delete thier account at icc and cursed icc blitz forever to erase the stigma of humiliation they got at the hands of naka. BTW, Italian chess championship website must be written in italian with no english translation available for iinternational fan. http://hikarunakamura.com/new-websi...

<Happy New Year Naka! I wish you lots of success in 2012. I’ve been following you for years, since ICC, and then when you became a super GM! I cannot be happier for you seeing you in the world elite, and performing well. I never doubted the inmense talent you have, even when people were saying that you were just “good at blitz”, I knew that one day you would be in the top 10, and I was right! Now you have demonstrated the incredible talent you have on board, improving day by day, and impressing everyone. Beating the world champion was just a small step. I hope your next step will include crushing Magnus Carlsen convincingly and building your path to the top 4 and try to become a World Champion! Kind Regards, a fan forever> |

| Feb-26-12 | | rilkefan: <list of grandmaster nakamura upcoming events> Thanks. I think the Naka page would be a more natural place for such info though. |
|
| Feb-26-12 | | timhortons: <rilkefan>
there is ongoing discussion thats running for month now at naka page, beside if you post it there, new topic will just cover it right away, nakas pulpit is a better place to paste it at CG. i prefer to kibitz at nakas pulpit. |
|
| Feb-26-12 | | rilkefan: On-topic discussion at Naka's page might drive out off-topic discussion, to everyone's benefit... |
|
| Feb-26-12 | | timhortons: <rilkefan? i know you got good intention. |
|
| Mar-14-12 | | soberknight: Haha this is a hilarious game! |
|
| Jun-07-12 | | ChessMystery: I hate Nakamuras Style, it's nasty, but this game is funny |
|
| Oct-11-12 | | kcchesschamp: like hell.... like hell.... |

| Oct-28-12 | | Corry: Best Game ever seen |
|

 | | andrewjsacks: Reminiscent of the game Lasker-Lasker, Baden Baden, 1919. |
|
Oct-28-12
| | andrewjsacks: But I think Lasker varied on the 208th move...
Or was it Lasker that varied?
I don't recall. |
|
| Jan-08-13 | | RAlehin: I think I found a mistake on move 251! |
|
| Jan-08-13 | | RAlehin: But seriously, this beats the previous "longest game ever" by 2 moves:

 | | kingscrusher: Interesting - 50 move draw rule bug exploited |
|

 | | paulalbert: <kingcrusher>
I was intrigued by your comment on the 50 move rule. I think there was a piece capture or pawn advance at the necessary and appropriate time throughout all phases of the game, and the computer rigorously avoids any 3 position repetition. Certainly 50 move issue no problem in the last phase of the game, 233... e1=B would have made move 283 end of 50 move line and Hikaru pulled off the mate before the limit.
Enjoy your videos! |
|
Feb-28-13
| | paulalbert: Just noticed Hikaru gave up a B on 237 so 287 actually the limit. |

| | kingscrusher: Move 174 - c4 - I thought this may be an inferior move designed to avoid the 50 move draw rule |
|

 | | AylerKupp: <kingscrusher> I agree. I came to a similar conclusion after the following game Aylerkupp / Rybka vs Kutztown46 / Stockfish, 2011, when Rybka 4.1 played 94.b4 in order to, I believe, avoid a draw by the 50-move rule. Rybka's eval of the position after Stockfish's 90...Rc8 was [+0.65] and after 94.b4 it was [+0.16], still better than the [0.00] that it would have evaluated the draw. There is an analysis of this game by GM Gserper in http://www.chess.com/article/view/c... that I just came across. He makes the same point about Rybka apparently going out of its way to avoid a draw by the 50-move rule. So apparently this bug is still in the latest version of Rybka. I wonder if Stockfish (or Stockfish's developers) knew about it. :-) Vasich Rajlich, take note! |

| | paulalbert: <kingcrusher> and <AylerKupp> Thanks for the clarification! Since I don't play against these machines, I thought you meant the bug was failure by the machine to count the 50 moves and claim a draw rather than making an inferior move to avoid it. I suppose at 174 c4 the machine possibly still gave itself a positive evaluation because of the material plus, so avoiding the 50 move rule by an inferior move might be a rational programming approach in order to still try for a win, but the evaluation routine must fail to see the long term consequences of turning a totally closed position into an open one. |
