Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Nakamura is Carlsen’s biggest threat. Period.
In 10 years perhaps.
Ya. In the bathroom.
Believe you. The bedroom is too dark for Carlsen.
Just wondering how Anand could hire Nakamura as his second to help him regain his title if the great Nakamura cant help himself against Carlsen. Anand must be laughing to himself. What a joke.
Nakamura made himself a laughing stock by claiming he is the only viable challenger who can beat Carlsen but has not played well to back it up. More thrash talk. They call it Kamikaze in Japan.
Now that he is out of contention, Nakamura will purposely lose his games with Karjakin and Robo to give them at least a chance to contest the championship. The only way he can think to get even with Carlsen.
I will advise Carlsen to seek a Temporary Restraining Order against Nakamura. This woman is getting very dangerous. After all, its only a Chess game.
To the baboon-bot who posts endlessly about Hiraku Nakamura and how he is the greatest, etc, etc- I have this reply: naka-naka-naka-naka-naka-naka-naka-naka-naka-naka. Oh, wait: naka-naka-naka-naka-naka-naka-naka.
Nakamura is still the best player in the world. Carlsen is just plain lucky. His luck will soon run out.
For sure he did. He looks like MINI ME.
