Nakamura, Hi – Carlsen, M.

2802 2024 · Draw

One of the great modern rivalries: Hikaru Nakamura, five-time US champion and a speed-chess phenomenon, against Magnus Carlsen, world champion from 2013 to 2023 and holder of the all-time rating record (2882). Nakamura opens with the Nimzo-Larsen Attack (1.b3), a humble-looking move picked precisely to pull Carlsen away from theory — a bold plan against the best player alive in open positions. These two have faced each other hundreds of times, online and over the board.
