In this video I am covering a game from 2016 London Chess Classic, where in round 6 Fabiano Caruana defeated Hikaru Nakamura, sacrificing a queen in the 6.Bg5 Najdorf. The queen sacrifice raised a huge public interest and made everyone analyze the position with engines. Although Nakamura had analyzed those lines during his preparations but he had been “over-relying on the computer’s evaluation” and in a real game failed to play precisely and found himself in trouble.
