| Apr-10-15 | | SirRuthless: Nakamura is saving his prep for the Grand Prix. He is playing weird crap and still winning the event with it. Good for him. Smart plan. |

 | | tamar: Not a cheapo. 20 Qe2 was the best move in a bad position. It was Gareev who bailed out to the draw. |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | haydn20: Not so sure it's Naka offering the draw. Black could have made considerable waves with e.g. 20...h5. |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | cornflake: <tamar: Not a cheapo. 20 Qe2 was the best move in a bad position. It was Gareev who bailed out to the draw> that's odd too- that Gareev would take the draw here a pawn up in a better position. |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | boz: <lost in space: Black can play for more with either Nc4> From the post-game interview, Naka seems to agree with you. |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | Robin01: Probably best for black to take the draw. I cannot see black achieving anything with this position. In order to make headway, black would have to open up one of the flanks, and black would be, basically, down a rook unless he castled, and if he castled then white would have a target. |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | boz: Naka has turned positively zen. I wonder how long he can keep up this new-found serenity. Maybe he'll end up as a chess Buddha by the time he's an elder statesman. |

 | | Gypsy: Well played by Black. |

 | | chancho: <boz> Naka only loses his marbles when he runs into a certain Norwegian... |
|

| | Gypsy: Well played, even though he bailed out when given a chance. Draw with Black against Naka... |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | cornflake: < chancho: <boz> Naka only loses his marbles when he runs into a certain Norwegian... > if Naka plays in his current form against Carlsen I don't like his winning chances at all. |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | BOSTER: 3 pawns for knight, or draw |

|
| Apr-10-15 | | thegoodanarchist: I think draw is good enough for Naka and Gareev both |

| Apr-10-15 | | BOSTER: So in the good company who was forfeited.
Among them Fischer and Kramnik. |

well, Fischer and Kramnik were forfeited, but they were never forfeited for cheating (as far as I know). |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | PhilFeeley: Why does it say "no result" at the top of this page? |
|

 | | Fusilli: <PhilFeeley: Why does it say "no result" at the top of this page?> Wondering the same thing... What happened to this game? |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | Immortal Gambit: I am also confused about the game score. There seems to have been a glitch. An exact replica of this game was submitted and has it as a draw, but it seems that no one has moved to it yet... |

| Apr-10-15 | | Tiggler: <cornflake: <BOSTER: So in the good company who was forfeited. Among them Fischer and Kramnik.> well, Fischer and Kramnik were forfeited, but they were never forfeited for cheating (as far as I know).> Article 11: The conduct of the players
11.1
The players shall take no action that will bring the game of chess into disrepute. Fischer violated the rule posted above nearly every time he played. Is that not the same or worse than cheating? |
|

| | offramp: I think that rule about "bringing the game into disepute" is laughable. It is used in football a lot. But football is totally disreputable. It is a game with no repute whatsoever, so how can one bring it into disrepute? By burning orphanages? |

 | | PawnSac: < Fischer violated the rule posted above nearly every time he played. Is that not the same or worse than cheating? > yea but that's a doubled edged blade there Tig.. Fischer's cantankerous nature also raised interest in chess, especially in the US, and brought the prize funding to a new level, so what could be claimed as bringing it into disrepute could also be seen as raising the stakes for all professional players.
It's kinda like Mohammed Ali who was always running his mouth, but at the same time he drew the bucks into the box office. Even to lose a match against him paid off nicely! |
