Caruana new #1 on rapid rating list, Nakamura down to 8
#1 yet not a champion. I’ll rather be #99 and win the championship. A gold is a gold. There must be something wrong with the way they rate these players. Nakamura ending up in 39th place is still rated as #8. What a hogwash. He padded his ELO rating by 12 when he beats Navarra, while in Norway, most of the players lost ELO points.
You understand nothing
Caruana has not won any title yet in 2014. His Fide rating in all chess categories are going up but no cigar yet. At least Nakamura won a title match with GM Navarra which shows he is much superior than Caruana. Amen to that.
They stole the #1 ranking from Nakamura.
Because Nakamura doesn’t deserve to be #1 just like you, you can’t be #1 fan to Nakamura because you give him bad luck. Or may be that’s the way he is, just good in papers but not in games.
Are you implying that Nakamura is just a paper tiger?
Please remember the additional ratings (rapid/blitz) are still rather new or in other words statistically uncertain.
2700chess live ratings on rapid and blitz is a bit messy. They should fix it
Soon Nakamura will play a rapid match with a guy like Navara and pad his rapid rating.
ITS OFFICIAL, Nakamura’s game play SUCKS even on Rapid Play, his supposed perceived stronghold. His DISMALL performance on Standard Chess and now Rapid Chess is a manifestation of his FAST DETERIORATING chess skills once hailed as one of the besr during his peak years. He is not only in a slump but his level of chess skills has drastically decrease at an alarming rate which explains his hesistance in playing in strong tournaments. His confidence level on his ability have but now sank at the bottom of the sea. Nakamuras chess style is now more EVASIVE and SURVIVAL MODE typical of player with deteriorating chess skills, style and shattered confidence. The US Chess Federation needs a new breed of chess superstars as Nakamura is now officially DISABLED 🙂
I’m sure that Wesley So will soon become the US#1. Nice and modest kids like Caruana and So have a great career ahead of them while Nakamura continue to tweet about how great he is.
In two days it will be official that Nakamura sucks at Blitz too. But don’t worry Nakamura you’re the chess.com and ICC blitz and bullet king. Not in real world tournaments where all top players play.
They cheated Nakamura. That’s the only way they could prevail in an a chess tourney.
Wonder, if Nakamura is the #1player in US, how will team USA fare in the chess Olympiad. Time for Rex to assemble a more competitive team and So playing board 1 is just a start. Rex burned a lot of money supporting the wrong guy. No wonder Naka ditched the US open so that nobody will notice his deteriorating skills. He ditched Norway Chess avoiding a strong line up because he knows his magic in chess was gone and that is at age 27. Yet he is still pretending that he’s still got the talent to compete with the big boys.
Nakamura fooled a lot of people declaring that he is the only viable challenger to Carlsen. That’s why all the believers commented on his side. What they didn’t know is, Naka just want to be sure he is not forgotten in any blog and his name mentioned multiple times to be remembered regardless of the outcome of the games he played. He fooled Rex Sinquefueld too, baking him up 100% money wise. This guy is a fraud, attention getter with nothing to show up. He’s a laughing stock of the world.
Rex should pay 50K so that SO can play for USA in olympics then we would have a powerful team with Nakamura, So and Kamsky! The fourth board will have it easy with such a powerful three boards!
Sauron prevails!!!
Nakamura should lobby FIDE for the establishment of a separate bullet rating list.

Now dont tell me, Nakamura the greatest player of all time won the world Rapid championship 2014. LOL
Nakamura should RETIRE now its the most honorable thing like what japanese warriors do. He should marry his fiancee, have a family, settle in a nice quite place and either form a chess school or a job as Guest GM commentator in some tv program or something. Or if he is traumatized because of his chess experience he should establish a japanese restaurant so he can earn a living. I understand how Nakamura feels as he FEELS TRAUMATIZED everytime he face Magnus Carlsen or any top 10 players. Nakamura is diagnose as having a “Magnus Carlsen Syndrome”, a type of disease common to chess players who wets and get scared everytime they see or play Magnus Carlsen and gets psychologically and mentally messed up in the process. No known cure except to avoid seeing or playing Carlsen and retire from active chess competition.
GM Nakamura did won the 2014 World Rapid & Blitz Championship… NOT on this time though but on a DIFFERENT DIMENSION, a PARALLEL UNIVERSE and NOT sponsored by Fide but by MCSF (Magnus Carlsen Syndrome Foundation) :d
