Nakamura's amazing games in Barcelona

[Javier]

19 Year old, American Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, has just won the Barcelona Open in Spain. I've seen some of the games and all I can say is: this guy is crazy!

Seriously, he's got guts! Watch the following game, where Hikaru actually moved his King all the way to h7! Unbelieveable!!:

 

 

But his round 2 game in the tournament was not less spectacular. Watch:
