Nakamura lost in Matrix!

GM Andrei Volokitin is the winner of 6th Lausanne Young Chess Masters Tournament. After passing knockout qualifications he met GM Hikaru Nakamura in the final match. Volokitin wins first game in deep ending and for 2nd round Nakamura pulls out his Matrix attack (1.e4 c5 2.Qh5). Andei was not impressed with this Queen dance and he grabs initiative in the early stage of the game. He kept cool head in the complications and scored an (easy) point to win the trophy.

GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov from Azerbaijan finished third after he won "sudden death" game against GM Pentala Harikrishna. I wanted to post this game but it was impossible to record it due to fast time control. GM Magnus Carlsen is 5th and IM Nana Dzagnidze is 7th.
