<Strongest Force:> Morozevich will move his king to 8th rank by move 40. We gotta wait and see what happens to this game after the 40th move, OK?

  whiteshark: Will a win over Nakamura push Moro on 4th place of the live-rating List?

  boz: I'm expecting something weird to happen in this game. By move 40 the position will be strange and dangerous and the king's faces daliesque.

  lost in space: Interesting. Two optimistic attacking players. Normally this is leading to a defensive play of both sides.

BTW, 7th

  haydn20: Hand grenades at 50 paces, or a Cold War draw (fear of mutually assured distruction)?

  Kinghunt: Hand grenades at 10 paces, most likely.

  SatelliteDan: This could very likly turn out to be the most entertaining game of the tournament. One point, I hope Moro doesn't go into protect the lead mode as many would do in this situation. Don't back off Moro. BTW, also a Naka fan.

  kellmano: Moro hammered Naka in that tournament in Spain at Chrsitmas didn't he? He also lost a convincing lead in said tournament.

This is a game between probably my two favourite active players, though I'm a big MacShane fan too.

  Kinghunt: Indeed he did, in Nakamura vs Morozevich, 2012. Absolutely crushing win by Morozevich in that game. Incidentally, that event was the first time the two ever met over the board. Their other game from that tournament ended in a 24 move draw without much of an attempt to win by either player.

  boz: Both players are risk takers, Naka is hungry for his first win, Moro with the white pieces knows he can't coast with Kramnik, Carlsen and Radja in pursuit, so I expect a serious fight.

  chancho: With tacticians of such a high caliber like these two, the odds of Chess mayhem looks most promising, eh?
Jun-14-12  The Big Lebowski: The Dude is going out on a limb. I predict Nakamura wins with black!
