Nakamura and Anand tied for first. Don't miss the exciting conclusion:

I feel like this is where things went wrong:

36.f4 Qd5+ 37.Qxd5 Nxd5

1 vote Nxd5 (Morecoin Freeman)

And now we are losing.

More recently, leading up to this end game, we made an error as well because we became worse. We must have overlooked something but I believe we did pretty good overall since letsplayagame is a great chess player.


I look forward to learn from his suggestions and analysis when our game is finished.

...Next week I may have some time to come answer questions and provide some analysis of key positions in the game.

I'm really looking forward to this!

He provided some commentary after the first game but I felt our mistakes were more obvious in game 1 than game 2. It is harder to tell exactly where we went wrong this time. This game was more interesting because we played much more aggressively.

Did letsplayagame outplay us again?

What are the score? How many games have been played and won/lost?

This is just the second game which is completely my fault. My schedule has been pretty busy and the games progress slowly as a result. I will be taking a break after this game, but will return periodically to post puzzles and participate in the other bitcointalk chess thread.

This game was much more difficult for me than the first and the outcome was in question for a long time. Next week I may have some time to come answer questions and provide some analysis of key positions in the game.
