        It is not fair because Carlsen was allowed to drink orange juice.

        And Nakamura was allowed to drink SAKI. No wonder he lost, got drunk. CHEATERS.

        Nakamura is a TOTAL FAILURE in Standard Chess… then on Rapid Chess (his perceived strenght)… then finally Blitz Chess (another supposed strength). Poor Nakamura he should consider RETIREMENT or commit HARAKIRI both are honorable ways to exit chess due to FAILURE.

        Carlsen to Nakamura: SLAM DUNK in your face… I am the Standard World Champion… then I got the Rapid World Title… then the Blitz World Title a CHESS GRANDSLAM in a single year holding all titles at the same time. While you Nakamura, YOU HAVE NOTHING Bwahahahaha!

        Rare? Unlikely ever to be repeated. He is a veritable Sauron. Truly an amazing performance in an incredibly strong field. Congrats to Nakamura for going 5-0 in the last five rounds of blitz trying to chase down Sauron. Caruana was also amazing in the rapid. Maybe the next Sauron slayer.

          Only problem is the final position was a simple win for black – did Anand let his flag drop?

        Magnus Carlsen has to thank Levon Aronian for his World Rapid & Blitz World Title. While it is true Carlsen also did a great job in both events, we should take note that in Rapid Carlsen won only by 1/2 point while on Blitz 1 point. In both instance Carlsen was being chased by strong contenders. In Rapid, it was Levon Aronian that knockdown Caruana defeating him in crucial stage, if Caruana had won that match against Aronian we would not have seen Carlsen lifting the World Rapid Champion Title. In Blitz, Levon Aronian again defeated Ian Nepomiachtci in the crucial stage which gave Carlsen back the lead in the crucial last 4 rounds. That lost affected Nepomiathtcii performance going the last 4 rounds. If Ian won against Aronian we would have not seen again Magnus Carlsen lifting the World Blitz Champion Title. Not to take any credit away from Carlsen as he did an excellent job on the crucial last rounds and he deserved to be crown World Rapid & Blitz Champion, his victory in a way would not have been possible without the aid of Levon Aronian given the slim victory he has on rapid (1/2 point over Caruana) and blitz (1 point over Nepomiachtci). So again, Magnus Carlsen should somehow thanks Levonian Aronian. Congrats Magnus Carlsen – World Standard Chess Champion, World Rapid Champion & World Blitz Champion. Cheers!

          You probanly have LOW IQ, its not the Nakamura troll that posted above. I you read between the lines thoroughly and understand it, it actually amounts to a mockery/insults …. mocking Nakamura for finishing 3rd only this despite the fact he was the number seed for rapid and blitz and he was supposed to dominate the blitz and rapid but he did not. Note that the word only is ALL CAPS and at the end it says LOL Now do you understand it dude? lol
