Puzzle Rush Score 43 (new high score)
Today I got a 43 in puzzle rush. I was really happy with beating my previous personal best. Something fun that I noticed was that Hikaru Nakamura had done a puzzle rush during the day and his high score for the day was 60 (his all time high score was over a hundred though).
Lets continue to talk about Hikaru Nakamura and his match against Magnus Carlsen in the Meltwater Chess Championship. Nakamura lost his match today against Carlsen. It is always fun to watch them verse each other.
They played a game that reminded me of an endgame study I had recently done. In the game Nakamura has his king on the queenside far from the incoming kingside pawns of Carlsen. Nakamura manages to get his king across, but not quickly enough and the white king walks all the way down (in a similar fashion to the endgame study I had done).
I found it to be an instructive endgame.
