Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I knew Nakamura would be a good classical player…I made the comment awhile ago on this site that he was just converting from blitz to classical..
I always have liked Nakamura’s style of play… He tries different moves and goes for the win..I’m pulling for nakmiester..Take it to him … you got the game .. show him what you got..
It nice to see there are still players like Nakamura that go for the win and don’t play conservative grind it out draws… Not mentioning any names Gelfand, Leko, Svidler…
Nakamura will continue to increase his ratings until hes in contention for the title….
Anand Vs Aronian was even bigger
Nakamura has been doing good but he seems to have a hard time converting against Carlsen.
