That is because, as you can see, he possesses a ring of power. Remember the poem: "One ring to rull them all. One ring to beat them. One ring to dominate the position. And in checkmate, bind them. In the land of competition, where grandmasters lie in wait." :- )
@6:50 Riazantsev had a chance to equalize and simplify with the strong Bxc5! and after dxc5, a4 and it is an equal position, not a hard combination to spot, even more, the faces naka does @7:00 indicate that naka realized his mistake, that's why he instantly played a6!
In this opening, the Nimzoindian, once Black has doubled White's pawns on the queenside, he tries to attack the c4 pawn by playing Nc6 and Na5, Ba6, c5, and after taking on d4, his queen is also attacking c4. It's in lots of old games.
@@marcweeks9178 What does white play once Black plays Nc6? Let's say white plays Bg5, and then what? Black plays Nd7. White can then play d5, black plays Na5, white plays Bh3, and black plays Ba6. Now, you said c5, so black can play Nxc5. Not sure how the white queen can attack c4, when it's on the d1. You can find the game here: www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1987182
@@patricks1333 I'm not talking about an exact sequence of moves; I'm talking about where Black would like to attack (White's pawn on c4) and how he should place the pieces to make that happen. What Black does from move to move would depend on White's moves. You asked me why he moved his queen, and I told you.
win, naka checkmated him ps. just learnt yesterday that post game, they organize the pieces in the way the game ended: kings in dark squares, black wins; kings in white squares, white wins; kings in opposite squares, draw (the board behind them was a draw)

0:52 Hikaru is so good, he even solves puzzles on the table next to him, while playing.
Anyone else love the way Hikaru moves the pieces? There's a certain flair to it, not quite arrogance, very fun to watch.

omg i thought iam the only one
It's very smooth, fluid movements. Like pieces are a part of his hand. Amazing lol
1:47 hikaru eats a knight
lmfao at one point I went, "where is the other knight" lmfao
This angle is the best of all
Yeah
Naka a total gentleman.
Hikaru is really Nice, positioning opponents piece
What's more shocking is the lack of professional coughers during this tournament...
Timer below 10 seconds is way too intense for me.😂😂
I like how on both boards, they are just bored out of their minds to get the opening over with. They're like: "Sigh.... yet another game..."

Almost no coughing. Impressive

Ahahaha chess = coughing
2:15 someone coughed as a read this hahaha
Perfect performance and mate at the end.
That was a great checkmate at the end too.
Yes. Surround your opponents king and an elegant checkmate often happens by accident I find
10:51 center King got mated
When I see these videos I get inspired and win a couple of games afterwards.
Me too
Love you Naka You are really a blitz super chess player
Upload nakamura games more
Ever notice how time slows down as pieces approach the speed of light?
No.
one of the best checkmate ever
Nakamura is a monster Hooo Leeee Shiiit
If Hikaru checkmated me in this way I would've looked at the board not knowing I got checkmated until 5 seconds later lol
me too🙄
Woow e6 followed by b6 that's Naka for you 😁... Btw happy new year ❤❤❤
7:51 what was that Hikaru 😅🤣
whats with ur name
I think it’s him just centering the piece. He does it a fair amount in this game a lil rare to see IMO
@@humbleman9069 asking the real question here
@@grustno1812 yeah lol
Wow those are some really nice chess sets
Yea Worth 500€
Was I the only one noticing how naka and nepo fiddle w pieces in the opp direction
magic, gentleman, total, wow
Naka is good and kind person
Nepo and Naka - my 2 favourite players!
Haha. Me too Bro. Specially nepo .
10:03 Ra3 Bg4, , Rd3?
Wins with the black turn is awesome
Naka is waiting for that moment
Wow checkmate. What a killer endgame.
Disclaimer :- there are no cough competition along with chess competition in this video
Also no shrieking every move like in womans tennis.
И Непомнящий рядом) интересно было бы глянуть с кем он играл и всю его партию
6:26 anyone saw the illegal move white moved in blacks time
Such a beautiful checkmate
Put a virtual board guys
The consummate professional speed demon.
7:17 why does his timer goes from 7 to 10? I'm confused
Increment
That last rook shouldn't have been moved by white
Why did he move the queen in 0:21?
I think if he hadn't did, it could have gone to lines where the queen might had changed to early

I really want to get better at chess but i don't have a beard.
lmao
See Nihal Sarin, Praggnanandhaa, Volodar Murzin... they do not sport a beard. And they are good at chess.
You will improve as long as you have hair on your balls
hhahaahahahaha
The beard is important
What is the style name of the figures ?
But one question: who played with Nepo?
10:56 ese Nakamura es bien mamón jaja
xD
Siempre tiene esa cara cuando termina xd
Complete chess novice here, can someone explain his move at 1:19 please? Moved two pieces?
it's called castle. There is castle king side and queen side. Google it to find out.
It is secret move to increase defense
I played in state championship chess tordement too.
7:04 he resigned ????
Looks like Nepo game was a draw
Damn, since when is my boy naka almost a 2900🤣💪🏼
Hikaru was so superior in this match that it looked like he was playing White.
Isn’t that MVL straight ahead?
2.55 Hikaru's Nail?
0:38 Magnus Carlsenimpression.
What a game!!
Why these people dont look happy or frustrated?
There is something called "concentration".
is the culture of chess, u have to be emotionless regardless of the result
i tink he shOuld draw arrOs with a sharpie
Draw or win ?
win, naka checkmated him
ps. just learnt yesterday that post game, they organize the pieces in the way the game ended: kings in dark squares, black wins; kings in white squares, white wins; kings in opposite squares, draw (the board behind them was a draw)
Thanksssss !
Nakamura 😁😁😁
