Gelfand – Nakamura, Bursa 2010
Gelfand and Nakamura Post Mortem
The internet response to the game Gelfand – Nakamura, 7th World Team Championship, Bursa Turkey 2010, has been almost electric. It is a game with all of the bells and whistles typical of a brilliancy, made all the more special because of the players themselves: the U.S. Champion sacrificed a piece and then left his queen hanging for six moves against the recent winner of the World Cup. Incredible.
