  1. KC: I am a huge fan of nakamura as well, but c'mon, you shouldn't compare him with Tal. There is simply no comparison, Tal is the greatest attacking chess player of ALL TIMES. And to be frank with you, unfortunately, I don't see anyone nowadays that can be even close to Tal. Period!

  2. Great video! Hey, if anyone is interested I go over interesting, aggressive, and somewhat unknown sidelines for the Modern Benoni as white on my channel.

  3. Nakamura and Tal in one title are already attractive. And when Kingcrusher is commenting, it's even more enjoyable. Great explanation in beautifull spoken english language. (If someone wants to learn to speak english, listen to Kingcrusher). This all deserves more than 94 views and 4 likes.. (keep them comming)

  4. I read somewhere that kayden was being mentored by kasparov

  5. Odd this young kid couldnt use his dark squared Bishop at all

  6. very nice destruction of the white king position. Tals style was so unique you cannot compare it to anyones though. this was a combination a 12 year old Carlsen would spot immediatly. well even I saw the moves, only failed to see Qf1 expecting the worse Qf3 defense :€

  7. Used to play the Benoni years ago, now it's KID or Grunfeld. Great to see this fascinating opening again by a top GM. Love it!

  8. Just remembered how naka said his position was rubbish haha

  9. I wouldn't say Nakamura is the modern Mikhail Tal, Alexander Morozevich is the true modern Tal of these days/

  10. Thanks for posting, I'm getting back into chess and I'm seeing more and more Fianchetto variations these days. Not the first time somebody has recommended …g5.

  11. Im sorry to say that it's a sacrilege comparing Nakamura to Tal. One is an arrogant blitz patzer and the other was a f***ing wizard.
