Very nice game from Zhu Chen… Clear & efficient 🙂 .. or quite bad game from Kiril Georgiev… that’s the question.
why is the final pos so familiar? i have seen a similar pos in this blog before

The board is upside down!
nakamura just won his second straight game after losing in round one to a 2400- now he’s 2/3 -i hope he gets to play adams at some point
Why did white resign? What happens after 56. Rxe5?
In the final position, Black will mate in one move with Be5+ ( board is upside down ) Therefore white must play Rxd4 and loses the exchange. Black is solid with no weaknesses and can slowly push for a queen. Black has a won game.
Black likes to push the pawns.
That 2400 Nakamura lost to in the 1st round was Scottish Women’s Champ Kete Arakhamia. And Irina Krush beat 2700 GM Akopian! And none of them were ‘lucky’ – all look like good games to this patzer….
