Naka really doesn't trouble to hide his dislike for Carlsen. | ||

Try: http://www.chess.com/ Once you register, you can customize the game you want to play by desired time control and minimum/maximum rating of opponents you want to play. After clicking 'Play' or whatever the button is called, you'll instantly get paired with the opponent within the range of rating you wanted to get (all is free, of course). | ||

Be3 (2. Kh1?? e1Q+ winning both Rook and Queen) Bxe3+ 3. Kh1 (3. Rxe3 Qxe3+ again drops 2 major pieces) Rxc4 4. Rxe5 Bd4 5. Rxe2 Kxf7 and you end up with an extra Bishop. | ||

Yep, that's right. 1. Ne6 Qxd2 2. Rxd2 Rxd2 would lead to mate. The interesting thing is that 1. Nf5 instead of 1.Ne6 does not work. | ||

For those who don't know, we have a TL group in chess.com http://www.chess.com/groups/view/team-liquid | ||
