Armageddon Game: Dubov wins against Nakamura #LindoresAbbey # Heritagechess

Lindores Abbey Heritage Chess Final Game 5 : Dubov upsets Nakamura by winning Armageddon Game.

 He tried 1e4 e5 2Nc3 Vienna Opening and reached a winning position after 16 moves.
 
Nakamura tried to play too quickly and spent no time on 12..Bd5?? which loses by force. Instead Dubov invested 30 seconds into playing 12Bd5! which was a strong move and not the natural and obvious 12Nf4. 
He saw this would cause problems for Black who hasn't castled. Nakamura failed to sense this was already a key moment and had to solve his issue around being behind in development.
