What was the correct response to
9.g4 ? Looks like it wasn’t Nakamura’s.
Mark
Despite his rather shaky form….he can still play a decent game once in a while. Hope he steadies up soon.
He’s a cocky little bastard.. He’ll pay for his insolence..I expect Nakamura to seek revenge and seek it with full force..
wolverine: carlsen is a cocky little bastard??
hahahaha you’re effin nuts!
go read nakamura’s blog, then carlsen’s blog. then tell me who the cocky one is.
Close to a miniature. Nakamura played 8-10 moves at the end hoping for a miracle or just to make it look less bad on paper, but he could have resigned before move 30.
Carlsen should play a pre-tournament warm up of three or four games – then he’d dominate from the first instead of having to win tournaments under pressure by coming from behind.
This was a very good game from Carlsen. He’s got the talent, he just needs to work harder.
Thats a boorish repsonse to winning.. Thats rubbing salt into the wound.. I expect it though from carlsen with that smug look on his face..He’s got the smurmy arrogent look..
If I was Nakamura and beat Carslen I would start fist pumping and saying thats how it done!! Thats how you play the game!!! Whos your daddy!!! That would be the justified retort to an ass such as Carlsen..

This game was lost in the opening. A delayed Keres Attack?
Nakamura could have delayed castling into the coming attack and played a less committal 8…Be6. Then if
9. g4 followed, reply with 9…h6.
Carlsen may be getting more steady, but Nakamura’s shaky opening play certainly helped him along.
This is vintage Kasparov. Look at Kasparov’s games and watch how he pushes the g pawn early in certain openings, particularly Sicilians and Queen Gambits. Perhaps instead of 28.. Qxd5, Rc4 would have been a better line, but part of the problem is that Nakamura castled into an impressive kingside attack. I am surprised someone of his caliber castled kingside when Carlsen had initiated a kingside attack with the g4 pawn push.
Oh to be able to crush a 2750 player on a roll… like this! han
Wolverine, I thought the men’s prison in St. Kitts cancelled your Internet access?
nice one there anonymous.. coming from a chess hack like yourself…
have you got your immigration papers ready when there ready to deport you back to the slum you came from… your obviously an illegal immigrant that came to america on a raft boat with 50 of your family members..
Personally i think Nakamura sinked himself with his defensive style of play. I thought he should have made sacrifices to create holes in Carlsen’ defence line up.
This wolverine guy is offensive. He is no chess player. Ignore him.
Quite frankly I am surprised the moderators publish his anti-chess behavior.
GM Polgar this is a disgrace!
What do you have against me? I pleasure myself while watching chess games. I am 40 years old and I still live with my mom and dad. I work in a rubber dog-crap factory in Detroit. Chess is the only thing that takes my mind off the fact that I am a complete failure in life. I was dropped as an infant. My mother had to tie meat around my neck to get the dog to play with me. I am such a loser. Will you play with me?
im no chess player??.. i would beat you 100 straight games without even trying.. you wouldn’t wouldnt win a single game against me you degenerate creep..
these slum immigrants that eat rats as a delicacy and wash themselves in the mens urinals should be deported back to where they came from..
this filthy immigrant here is clearly an illegal with his broken english and grade five jokes… just some rambling incoherent rant…
he’s either that or a some mid 50’s reject that went back to college because the dog excrement cleaning company he worked for went bankrupt and he has no money to eat..when your only skill is to be able to clean up dog crap you need some training..
I’m so mad rite now that I will call everywon bad names! You doo-doo poo poo heds! I will insult yer mudders and make fun of yuoor fodders. I am mad because my inbred sister ate my pet squirrel.
I am so mad!
