Great game, good to see somebody extend the same courtesy to you as you do to others.

Lol, you don't know Hikaru. He will do absolutely anything to win. Zero chance I would get a draw in some theoretically drawn position if he could run me out on time (ie Rook vs Rook). The only reason I got that time back was because he knew he would win for sure. You didn't see him giving me time 10-20 moves before. Anyway it's not like I deserved time anyway, he was just doing it to mess around.

Pretty sure that Nakamura is much stronger than Nielson at blitz. The problem si that I can only play them if they use the 5-minute pool. When they do theres always a good chance, because I'm generally one of the highest in the pool playing at any given time.

actually today nielsen and smallville were playing a little "match on ICC". They were playing around 10-15 3 0 games on ICC. I believe Naka won the majority of them. I only watched a couple of games

I stand corrected, Nielsen seems to give him a run for his money, although Nakamura has the edge in their overall results. I will get him next time!!!!

Btw rumor is that Magnus Carlsen uses the account "Nielsen" on ICC. Strange, but this is what I've heard from 1-2 people. Not 100% sure it's true though.

here is a list of ICC handles.

Ok so it is officially Carlsen. I was wondering how this Peter Heine Nielsen was standing any chance against Hikaru in blitz. Magnus on the other hand I can understand it

Hey curtains well played! damn time

By the way, what is wrong with 28. nxh5? there must be something wrong for neither you and hika care about it, but i dont see what, after a quick glance.

Thanks for your videos, great job!

Prob curtains did not even see that idea. But 28...Qb7 followed by Nef3 wins I guess.

These 2 games against Nakamura were very exciting.

He just took the blitz record on ICC from depressnyak (Grischuk) a few days ago, was 3737, now it's 3750.

couldn't you have won his queen on the H-file?! you captured his passed pawn with your queen but if you took with the rook you win his queen!!! ahahahahaha

you're still the man though... entertaining as always.

never mind! just watched it again and your rook was pinned... i = suck, you = good
