Channel: Mordimer's Chess Channel
Date: 2020-05-31

This is Armageddon or maybe, like true Viking would say Ragnarök game. Decisive semifinal game of 3 mini-matches between Magnus Carlsen vs Hikaru Nakamura. Current World Champion picked Harrwitz Attack in Queen's Gambit Declined opening again and Naka tried to improve, however still lost positionally. Luckily for him Norwegian GM missed one tactic, then the crazy engine line winning opportunity and then blundered the rook and resigned. Final tomorrow: Nakamura vs Dubov.

I think both players are really well known in the community but Hikaru Nakamura online contribution to chess lass months is just enormous, he introduced a lot of new players, as he has the most popular twitch stream channel.
