Nakamura beats Carlsen in the final - This blitz event took place on Saturday, November 28th in Oslo, Norway. Ten players were invited and divided into two groups, insuring that the two designated finalists, Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, would meet in the final. And that's exactly what happened!

The quarter-finals started with the two favourites getting through through easily. Carlsen won all of his games, except for a draw against GM Monika Socko. Hikaru Nakamura, the blitz specialist, won all of his games.

In the semi-finals Nakamura played Danish GM Peter Heine Nielsen , who is a second of World Champion Vishy Anand (and a former trainer of Magnus Carlsen). Nakamura demolished him 3-0. The same applies to Magnus Carlsen, who won the first three of four semi-final games against Swedish GM Emanuel Berg (the fourth in each case did not need to be played).

Below are the videos of the four games of the Oslo Blitz Finals. They were captured by Todd Freitag of Chicago off the live video feed of the official web site. The videos are a littly choppy at times – either the webcam was not working properly, or the organisers had insufficient bandwidth.

Eventual winner U.S. GM Hikaru Nakamura
