| Dec-09-06 | | Rubenus: This isn't worth to be a 'notable game'. Black made an incredible stupid blunder (for his strength) and white saw that he could win a piece. The rest of the game is very boring. |
|
| Mar-24-09 | | WhiteRook48: ...Kxd6 Bf4+ |
|
| May-18-09 | | WhiteRook48: and a skewer.
Nakamura beat the guy who started Islam! |
|
| Jul-27-09 | | True2theGame: Dead even at move 27! Not bad for an IM playing the black pieces against arguably the strongest tactician of modern day chess. I am surprised he (Muhammad)missed the last one though, it was quite elementary in nature. |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | jovack: black must have lost focus.. odd that an IM would not feel the danger of skewers with his king out in the open with 2 enemy bishops free |

| Oct-21-09 | | dannygjk: Question: Are the ratings on the scoresheets always ELO? |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | TITIKIZA: this game is boring. black just made a terrible blunder |

| Oct-21-09 | | dannygjk: oops, i mean Elo :) not the band XD |

| Oct-21-09 | | belgradegambit: Hey Chessgames used my pun again! Woo-hoo but they don't give prizes anymore :-( |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | LIFE Master AJ: <patzer2> 27 ... Rb8?? As far as I can tell - without using a computer - Black was OK until this move. |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | kevin86: White sacs the exchange,then gains the rook by skewer to end a bishop up. |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | goodevans: <TITIKIZA: this game is boring. black just made a terrible blunder> Maybe we're both missing something here, but failing that I'd have to agree with you! |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | ounos: <Halldor: The black king is overloaded, it can't protect the bishop and the rook at the same time, thus the skewer.> lol! Now, lets put the rook on the imaginery square a9. Yeah, the king looks terribly overloaded protecting a9 and the bishop! |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | soberknight: <The important question is why don't strong masters make blunders like that against me???? AAAARGHHHH!> I think the more important question is, when inexperienced amateurs do make those blunders against me, why do I fail to notice? :) |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | WhiteRook48: archangel variation?? |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | timhortons: imagine a 2400 uscf master could blunder like these? |
|
| Oct-23-09 | | dannygjk: Even the best blunder, pull them off their pedestals already! |
|
| Oct-12-10 | | sevenseaman: Let us pontificate!
Coupla points. You will only avoid a blunder if you see it or by chance. The question; what should Black have played instead? In hindsight, better moves can always be found. The more pertinent poser is, 'Did the blunderer have a compelling plan that entailed the blunder creeping in?' I do not see the point in Rb8. But I do in Rd8 (defensive) or Re8 (attacking). So? Am I a hindsight bully/dope. The point about analysis is that this time around there is an obligation to be sound and the need to avoid being undercooked. In an honest review, I think 28. Rxd6 is a context idea worthy of being termed a brilliancy. |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | Robeson: You mean you don't see the point in attacking an undefended isolated pawn? Okay. |
|
| Feb-08-14 | | tranquilsimplicity: I have to agree with Titikiza. I wonder how this game is chosen as one of Nakamura's best. There really isn't anything to make it outstanding. # |

 | | perfidious: <tranquil> Not sure how you define 'best', but notability, as termed here at CG, means that the games on a player's list of notable games appear in the largest number of game collections assembled by <chessgames> members. |
|
| Feb-09-14 | | tranquilsimplicity: Ahh! Thank you for that Perfidious. I did not know the criteria utilised in the selection of a player's notable games. Now I do.# |
|
| Feb-09-14 | | Jason Frost: <kevin86: White sacs the exchange,then gains the rook by skewer to end a bishop up.> Sounds like the Maurice Ashley definition of sac. http://youtu.be/kUr_gdKQ8j4?t=5m53s |
