Nakamura will crush Carlsen like a bug.
What time do the rounds begin?
Carlsen or Caruana?
Nakamura who. This girl did not even register in chess radar. Carlsen will toy with this girl for sure.
Why is Nakamura in this tournament. She should be playing in the Fagetnes Chess Open. This tournament is too strong for her and the men will surely pulverized her. Perhaps she just want to face these handsome men, HA. Nice try Naka.
