Carlsen vs. Nakamura blitz live on chess.com

gave up with the karpov kasparov debacle. e4

Such high intensity. both players making errors but Nakamura just can't convert winning positions and has lost 2 cast iron wins by trapping his own Queen!

Great stuff.

Carlsen won 14.5 to 10.5 and I know he has the World Championship coming up with Karjakin but he looked completely knackered afterwards.
Nakamura much more relaxed but probably p1ssed off because he had so many chances to nail it but inexplicably blundered.
Bit worried about Carlsen tbh because being such a genius in an intense environment like that he could burn out quickly for a relatively young lad.

In the old days they just used to have the standard tournaments and the blitz games were for a laugh amongst pals. Now it is non-stop high pressure to perform.
