The Ashley-Nakamura game today was fascinating, with great play and blunders all
around.

Big blunder 1:  Nakamura played Rd8 after very long think, which should lose
outright.  Nc5 was the correct move.

Then, in a completely won position, Ashley blunders bigtime with Nd5.

A word about chess_fm: they provide an interesting service, but strangely they
tend to miss the relevant moves of the games they cover.  When Nakamura won,
they had no idea why.  When Larry C won, they had no idea why.  How tough can it
be, when a guy like me with little chess knowledge can see far more than they?
