  Penguincw: Nakamura forgot where the bishop was and lost.I doubt many players expected that.
Mar-13-11  Rook e2: Not only the bishop, the other rook can be taken by the king.

  Penguincw: Well it's still over for Nakamura.
Mar-13-11  dumbgai: Very strange game, Naka could have had a draw whenever he wanted...and he just blundered it away. Can't really see the point of 71. Rc4, regardless of where the black bishop is.
Mar-14-11  mpl: Nakamura saw the bishop on c4. What he probably wanted to play was:

70. ♖b7 ♗c6+ (70.. ♔g8 71. ♖hg7+ ♔f8 72. ♖xb5 ♔xg7 73. ♔xe2 ♖a8 74. ♖a5) 71. ♔xe2 ♗xb7 72. ♖xb7 ♖a8 73. ♔f3 ♖xa3 74. ♔f4

  HeMateMe: Very frustrating. He played so well to reach that point. You would think it would be easier to remember where the pieces are, once the board starts to empty out.
Mar-14-11  DAVI DE RAFE: 71.Rc4 unexpected tsunami.
