I feel like people don't understand this. Nakamura is not even close to the level of Carlsen in classical chess. Carlsen has a much deeper understanding of chess than Naka does. But yet so many people are saying that Naka is better than Carlsen. If you compare them on a blitz level, maybe it is close, but that is only because it's basically Hikaru's job to stream and play blitz online. But when you compare them on a longer time control level, it's not the same at all.
And we still have Naka fans saying stuff like this: twitter.com/SARGE_FIFA/status/1296622183498674176
I am glad that Magnus won. If he had not won, it would be chaos in the chess world. We would have those people that got introduced to chess by like XQC on twitch saying that Naka is the GOAT or stuff like that. There needs to be a reality check of what is happening :)
