In this video I am analyzing a game from 2016 London Chess Classic where in round 6 Fabiano Caruana defeated Hikaru Nakamura sacrificing his Queen in the 6.Bg5 Najdorf line.
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 computers evaluation and in a real game failed to play precisely and found himself in trouble.
