I'm watching it live and it sure looks like Magnus is going to win... again.  I don't believe Nakamura has EVER beaten him.

52...Re8 turned out to be the last move.  Nakamura resigned.

If he could not win this then how?

ilgambitto, for your future reference:
1. click the chess board icon, it's right above where you type

2. Select "game or sequence of moves" and continue

3. "Use a PGN file," paste the moves there, and continue

4. Next, Next, Preview, Insert

5. Submit post

Avatar of dmxn2k

lol I was thinking to myself, omg Nakamura decided to play the exact same game and Carlsen played right into it!

Then I looked at the date.

Avatar of fabelhaft

Nakamura needs to call that black magic expert the last 500 posts advertise.

Avatar of rooperi

What's actually more amazing than naka trailing, is that Carlsen is having a 'terrible"(?) tournament, and still leading, lol

Avatar of tao585

4. f3 is a standard move which prepares e4 as well as protects e4 square. Thats what I read about in my opening repertoire book. 

Avatar of expand

Carlsen has Nakamura's number - "0."
