1. g1f3  1... d7d5  2. e2e3  2... g8f6  3. c2c4  3... e7e6  4. b2b3 This is usually Nakamura's weapon of choice in blitz and rapid events. 4... f8e7  5. c1b2  5... e8g8  6. g2g3 A funny move, as we are usually told that you should not combine e3 and g3 in the opening. But, to be honest, it does not make a huge difference in the evaluation of the position. Of course White can play more pragmatically with moves like 6.c3 or 6.Be2. Duda even tried the crazy 6.Rg1 followed by 7.g4 in a rapid event this year. Not something you should do, unless you are 2700+ and want to have fun in a dubious position. 6... b7b6  7. f1g2  7... c8b7  8. e1g1  8... c7c5  9. d1e2  9... d8c8  10. b1c3  10... f8d8  11. a1c1  11... b8c6  12. d2d3 Since the central exchange gives White no advantage, Nakamura decides to play this restrained move. But now Black can simplify the position. 12... d5d4  13. e3d4  13... c6d4  14. f3d4  14... b7g2  15. g1g2  15... c5d4  16. c3b1 An interesting winning attempt, preparing Nd2-f3. 16... c8b7  17. g2g1  17... h7h5 An interesting plan to prevent Nd2-f3. 18. b1d2  18... h5h4  19. g3h4 I don't know what to say about this move. Probably it would not even cross the minds of most chess players. But, of course, Nakamura is special, and that's why he wins so many times in these positions, although his play backfires in this game. 19... a8c8  20. e2f3 White's position gets very difficult to play after this move since he must find some strange computer moves to stay in the game. 20... b7a6 Of course Firouzja is not interested in a queen exchange now. 21. g1h1 This seems like a clever move, since taking on a2 is not so good for Black, but it's a mistake. 21... c8c5  22. f1g1  22... c5f5  23. f3g2  23... f6h5  24. a2a3  24... e7h4  25. c1f1  25... g7g6 Black's pawn structure is much better. 26. d2e4  26... h4e7  27. e4g3 Now Nakamura manages to improve his position. 27... h5g3  28. f2g3  28... b6b5 Black is still better since it's not easy to protect white's queenside. 29. g3g4  29... f5f1  30. g1f1  30... b5c4  31. b3c4  31... e6e5  32. b2c1  32... d8b8  33. g2f3  33... a6b7 Now it's impossible to defend the weaknesses on the queenside. 34. h1g2  34... b7f3  35. g2f3  35... b8b1  36. f3e2  36... f7f5  37. g4f5  37... g6f5  38. e2d2  38... e7a3  39. c4c5 As we all know, Nakamura is incredibly resourceful. He manages to create problems even in seemingly hopeless positions. 39... a3c5 This throws away the win. Truth be said, this is a tricky endgame to play, especially in time trouble. 40. f1f5  40... c5d6  41. d2c2  41... b1b7  42. h2h4  42... b7c7  43. c2d1 This loses. 43... c7c3  44. f5f6 The last rick. 44... d6a3 Now it's a draw again $1 45. c1g5  45... c3d3 Now it's really over. 46. d1e2  46... d3h3
