Jul-29-11  Strongest Force: Pono would have 2 new girls if Nak played on
Jul-29-11  Strongest Force: Nak trying for his own crooks on 7th ave
Jul-29-11  Everett: 51..Bd4 52.f4! Threatening Rc6#
Jul-29-11  Strongest Force: Bd4 and R1a7 is unclear
Jul-29-11  SketchQuark: If f4, then Bc5 blocks the entrance.

Stronger now would be Rc6+ to push the king away from the g pawn and get the other rook back in the game with tempp

Jul-29-11  Everett:    Everett:< 51..Bd4 52.f4! Threatening Rc6#>

After 52.f4 Naka has 52..Bc5 or ..Rf2+ and ..Rxf4

Jul-29-11  Strongest Force: Ok, its clear now
Jul-29-11  Everett: Resourceful play from both sides! Good fight!
Jul-29-11  uscfratingmybyear: Time to resign.
Jul-29-11  Strongest Force: Pono is all up in that thang now

  Domdaniel: 61.Re4, maybe?
Jul-29-11  SketchQuark: All white has to do is keep his rook on the e file and march his king up the h file.
Jul-29-11  BobCrisp: <Nakamura> needs to be told that <Hirohito> is dead and that he can surrender.

  Domdaniel: Nak tried to run the b-pawn. Sigh. Well, he's no quitter, at least.
Jul-29-11  Strongest Force: Nak will probably try to push the b-pawn now

  tpstar: Great game by Ponomariov, totally outplaying Nakamura in the middlegame and endgame.

It's great to see GMs grinding out these endgame wins.
