What was chucky drinking, I mean thinking???
Great….just as long as Naka’s head doesn’t get so big it explodes!!!
Nakamura is the greatest player in the past century.
The mice (naka) will play when the cats( magnus etc) are not around…
Chucky blundered, but it looks like he could have gotten two pawns for his knight.
He still could have tried to hold the game. He would have had an outside passed pawn and opposite bishops. And white has the wrong bishop for the rook pawn. He should have played on for a few more moves.
“Naka is the greatest player in the past century.” What the heck?!?!? He is obviously the greatest player ever. Just ask him. He is like Tal, and Kasparov is only god at opening preparatio.
