Gata Kamsky also won an incredible game against the perfect 6-0 GM Milov in 117 moves!!
Did you get to see the Gata Kamsky game against Joel Benjamin in round 8? It was an amazing save by Gata with the late piece sacrifice. I am amazed he saw that possibility. But disappointed witht he last round 5 move game he played. At least Nakamura fights every game he plays.
