    This game was interesting as Nakamura was on a good advantage with up on time and with a one mistake Nepomniatchtchi found a tactical draw sequence by sacrificing many pieces. You know if this wouldn't be a perpetual Nakamura would've won the game but that's what nepo calculated that it would end in a perpetual check. This was probably the best game yet in the whole candidates.
