The Game from the 2010 US Championships
Further to my earlier blog about the Nakamura-Shulman game, here is the webcam footage of the game. Watch Nakamura's facial expression and body language especially from 4:15 onwards. Note that there is a background story to the defeat of Nakamura. Going into the Quad finals of the Championship, Nakamura, typically of his brash attitude, announced that Shulman will be the 4th GM the three GMs contenders, namely Nakamura, Kamsky and Onischuk will be looking to score a full point. Or in Aussie parlance, Shulman in Nakamura's view was the "bunny" or "patsy"! Well, the gods have a sense of humour ......
Additionally, ask yourself, how long will you take to resign in this position?
Further, persevere to the discussion of the Shabalov-Stipunsky game where Black blundered badly giving Shabalov the game, the 1st placing in the Consolation tournament and USD10,000 at wround the 18:20 mark.
