Candidates 2022 R3: Nakamura douses fiery Firouzja - ChessBase India

Alireza Firouzja played only one tournament this year before the Candidates. It was clear that he was preparing for his golden opportunity. He got to show his full scale preparation against Nakamura in the third round. He blitzed out the first 25 moves and gained almost 80+ minutes advantage on the clock. The American is not the one who gets rattled easily. Being a sharp tactician and good with low time on the clock, he managed to real danger his opponent posed. Ding Liren was the only person who got remotely close to winning the sole game of the third round.
