          Congrats (in advance) Naka for winning the World Rapid and Blitz Tournament. You are really the best megastar of chess.

          Nakamura’s relatives still believes that he is still one of the best in chess. They failed to forsee all these young prodigees rise to their potentials. Eventually, all of them will surpass OLD Naka in ratings in a matter of time. 3 months at least. Sorry Mama, Bro for spoiling your day. Truth hurts.

        Hmmm… He beat a 2768 player. Looks like he’s ready to take on the ‘tough’ ten.

        Top ten? Have you gone out of your mind. He wont even get a draw from Nakamura. Nakamura will dust this Boy and extract the bugar out of his nose when they meet. Wesley is just a so so player and doesnt belong to top ten.

        Open your eyes guys. This 6 man tourney is very weak, so idolizing Wesley for his accomplisment is pre-mature. Wait till he face the likes of Nakamura and you will be sorry for rooting the wrong idol. Naka will beat this toddler blindfoldedly.

          And what do you call the 4 game match of Navarra versus Nakamura, strong? ehhhh At least the 6 man Capablanca Tourney is Category 19 not unlike the Navarra-Nakamura match a Category 2 LOL

          Open up your eyes guys. The 4 game match between Navarra and Nakamura is EXTREMELY Weak and Flimsy, a manifestation of cowardness on Nakamura for a top ten player taking advantage of lower rated players. Ditching the US Open and Norway Chess for a chance to play Navarra is Soooo Gay lol

          According to Nakamura, he does not want to push further because he is not familiar with Wesley So style and he night lose lol
