Tactics Tuesday: FIDE World Rapid & Blitz, Pt. 10 (Nakamura & Caruana)

Today's Tactics Tuesday continues a multi-week feature on the 2024 FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championships, held December 26 – 31 in New York.

Our coverage of the rapid and blitz events focused on the winners, but several dozen Americans competed and many gained rating and delivered some nice upsets. So, we'll be taking a look at their games for the next few weeks!

This week's puzzles come from the 2025 American Cup finalists GM Hikaru Nakamura and GM Fabiano Caruana. Nakamura won the American Cup with a classical victory over Caruana, who won the Champions Showdown earlier this month also in St. Louis. We look back on their finest moments from New York below.
