1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... e7e6  3. d2d3  3... b8c6  4. g2g3  4... g7g6  5. f1g2 Bassem's favorite KIA. 5... f8g7  6. e1g1  6... d7d6  7. c2c3  7... g8f6  8. f1e1  8... e8g8  9. d3d4  9... e6e5 I always believed that the weakening of the d5 square is a serious concession. But Nakamura  proves otherwise. 10. d4c5  10... d6c5  11. d1d8  11... f8d8  12. b1a3  12... f6e8  13. g2f1 Playing for the light squares is a very logical thing. 13... f7f6  14. f1c4  14... g8f8  15. c1e3  15... b7b6  16. c4d5 The hole on d5 starts to tell, but Black stays cool. 16... c8d7  17. a3b5  17... a8b8  18. a2a4  18... a7a6  19. b5a3  19... c6e7 Covering the central square. 20. d5b3  20... e7c6  Otherwise a4-a5 will follow. 21. f3d2  21... e8c7  22. f2f4 It is getting very tense in the middle of the board. 22... g7h6 But Nakamura is ready to strike back as usual. 23. g1g2  23... c6a5  24. b3c2  24... d7c6  25. b2b4  25... a5b7  26. d2c4 A wrong step. 26... e5f4  27. g3f4  27... b6b5 Now Nakamura takes over the initiative. 28. a4b5  28... a6b5  29. c4b6 The knight is horribly placed here. 29... c5b4  30. c3b4  30... b7d6  31. g2g3  31... c6e4 Simply winning the pawn. 32. e3c5  32... e4c2  33. a3c2  33... f8g8  34. c2d4 Activity is Bassem's best friend. 34... d6c4  35. b6c4  35... b5c4  36. d4c6  36... d8d3  37. g3f2  37... b8b7 Nakamura is up a  pawn but the win is anyting but trivial. Bassem has active pieces and a  dangerous outside passer. 38. f4f5 Desperado. 38... c4c3  39. e1e2  39... h6f8 Too technical. 40. c5f8  40... g8f8  41. f5g6  41... h7g6  42. a1a5  42... b7b6  43. a5c5 Nice play by White. He is taking care of the c3 passer. 43... c7e8  44. c6e7  44... f8f7  45. e7d5  45... b6b7  46. b4b5 Now the pawn is becoming extremely unpleasant. 46... e8d6  47. d5c3 Bassem can breathe again. And even hope for  something more than the half point. 47... g6g5  48. f2g2  48... f7g6  49. e2b2  49... d6f5  50. c3e4  50... f5e3 With second son the clock these knight cheks are extremely  unpleasant. There are so many forks in the air! 51. g2g1  51... b7e7  52. e4f2  52... d3a3  53. c5c1  53... e7b7  54. h2h3  54... a3a5 The correct idea, but wrong execution. 55. c1c5  55... e3f5  56. f2e4  56... f5d4  57. e4d6  57... b7d7  58. d6c4  58... a5a1  59. g1f2  59... d7h7  60. b5b6  60... a1a8  61. b6b7 The pawn makes it! The support is too good not to win the whole  rook. On the other side Black lacks resources as one of his rooks is  missing in the attack. 61... a8b8  62. c4d6  62... h7h3  63. b2b4  63... h3h2  64. f2f1  64... h2h1  65. f1g2  65... h1d1  66. c5c8  66... d1d2  67. g2f1  67... d4f3 The last chance. 68. b4b3 Forbidden. 68... b8b7  69. d6b7  69... g5g4  70. b7c5 Bssem is almost there. 70... d2c2  71. b3d3  71... g6f5  72. c5b7  72... c2b2  73. b7d6 Now White finally wraps the game home. 73... f5e6  74. c8e8  74... e6d7  75. e8e2  75... b2b1  76. f1f2  76... f3e5  77. d3d2  77... d7c6  78. d6e4  78... b1b3
