In the 3^rd round of London Classic one of the leaders Kramnik had bye, while two other leaders of the tournament faced each other. Nakamura’с position stayed acceptable for quite a long тайм, but ultimately the struggle ended in a devastative attack of White.

As Nakamura explained he had miscalculated the sacrifice of the exchange and that was the reason why he played 29…Rfb8 – which, at that point, seemed a logical move for him. 

At the press-conference the rivals analysed 34…Qg6, which was leaving White practical chances in a worse position. White could have replied 25.d5.

Nakamura мейд a mistake 34…Ra8?  instead, which led White to a quick лосс.
