Nakamura's 50-Move Endgame Masterclass vs Bluebaum | Titled Tuesday 2021

Hikaru Nakamura takes on Matthias Bluebaum in Round 9 of Titled Tuesday, November 2021, navigating a King's Indian Defense into a long, patient endgame battle. The game saw a sharp mid-game phase including a bold queen offer on move 35 that proved too dangerous for White to accept, followed by a critical blunder on move 35 that swung the position decisively in Black's favor. White's resistance finally collapsed on move 48 when Qe8 allowed a forced mate-in-3, handing Nakamura a clean checkmate victory on move 50. Subscribe for daily chess classics.
Nakamura's queen move to g3 on move 35 was engine-confirmed as a brilliancy, outperforming all alternatives by over 700 centipawns — yet White declined the offer, only to blunder fatally on the very same move.
