Fantastic
Made my day.
I always watch Naka play on the internet. Great to see him win this most difficult of tournaments. Far exceeds my expectations. I suspect Naka has been working on his chess. great to see that.
Keep up the good work Naka. You can be World Champion. I have faith in you.
I do cheer for Magnus but not when he plays Naka. Then I always cheer for Naka. Same with other Americans like Gata etc.
I would love to see Naka as World Champion. It would be a dream come true.
ALL games in the final round drawn? Further proof that the reward for winning instead of drawing needs to be greater.
