Hikaru Nakamura spent 67 minutes on one move at the 2026 Candidates—but still lost.
On move 13 vs Javokhir Sindarov, he chose the wrong move (h4 instead of Ne4), losing his advantage. Sindarov quickly countered and won.
This was the second-longest think in Candidates history, behind Alexander Grischuk.
Sindarov now leads the event, which decides the challenger to World Champion Gukesh Dommaraju.Hikaru Nakamura spent 67 minutes on one move at the 2026 Candidates—but still lost.
