23 August 2010, Amsterdam - A fantastic game brewed during the ANISH GIRI vs NAKAMURA game which entered the playoffs. It appears to be a game of psychology in the chess openings, as towards the middle game, in order to achieve a better end game positionally, NAKAMURA executes the perfect exchange sacrifice!
End position, a win for black and NAKAMURA!
