Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Nakamura should have won this. He’s clearly the best player. He just has a few bad days. Could happen to anyone.
Carlsen is extremely steady.
Major tournament title changes hands nowadays because the strength of the opposition.
But if you look at Carlsen, he is either the champion or runner up.
Bad day or not its the same.
I wonder if it’s not Nakamura himself writing these comments all these months. Or, as somebody recently suggested, his wife! For no sane person on earth will continue to write such s… for so long ,esp when Nakamura fails to show any tournament win at all. How I wish this guy is shot off to the moon!
this mice cannot play even when the cats are napping.. naka still cannot win a tourney where carlsen is there..
Agree
If the winner has to wear a hat like Gelfand is wearing, I would have had to throw the tournament, too.
I might have to revise my opinion on Gelfand. Caruana now no 3. Great struggle of generations.
I have to revise my opinion on Gelfand. Caruana now no 3, awesome struggle of generations. Well then there is Anand, not sure what I can say…
