Thanks Sean,

When it rains it pours. Nakamura is not having a good event this time out. Hope he can get his head back in the game.

Nakamura had a nice pawn-side attack on Caruana's queenside castled King, but he rushed it. If he had developed his queen on the same diagonal as the light squared bishop to create a battery against the a1-pawn like Yaz showed in the YouTube chess show, he probably would have won. When there is opposite castling it is important to be the first one down the board, but you have to bring enough material to mate :arrow:

Cordially,

Sean

Another -10% fee in case Naka castled with both hands?
