If you want to see a very unconventional game of Chess, go to the official
page of the Biel/Bienne 38th. Tournament, and look at the game between
Nakamura(USA) and Gelfand(Israel) in the 10th. round, a few hours ago. It
seems that Nakamura became crazy, making a lot of incredible sacrifices,
but Gelfand found out the correct defensive way. The game is nicely
interesting enough to see, so if you are curious and like rarities, take a
look. I am not a master, but I have the idea that Nakamura could win the
game, although it was not easy, and, in the other hand, Gelfand is
extremely strong, and Nakamura can not play in this way against this class
of players (Gelfand: ELO 2724) unless he is very sure on what is he doing.
Nakamura lost his three last games after being on the top in round 7, and
Gelfand was, finally, in first place tied with Volotikin.
