I have to disagree. To everything Carlsen excels Nakamura in understanding, Nakamura excels Carlsen in calculation.
i still remember when xqc got mated in 7 while naka watched
I agree that Carlsen is better than Nakamura, but I feel like you are forcing people to agree with you.
Naka is helping to widen the chess community. But you are correct Carlsen won but he was so close to losing to me they are equal in rapid but yes carlsen is slightly better in classical.
Any chess player understands that Carlsen is still the better chess player. But you can't argue with teenage fanboys and Naka has won many of those thanks to his collaborations with gamer streamers.
So I just only understand Naka cheated?! twitter.com/SARGE_FIFA/status/1296622183498674176 @mysterious_expert
@mysterious_expert Nakamura did nothing wrong introducing chess to noobs .. Yes many americans that were newly introduced to chess supported him but I don't see any problem with that .. XQc is a Noob but I am sure you were once a noob too ...
i'm agree with all of you, Carlsen it's number 1 in chess, but Nakamura is really close to his level.
This thread might be relevant except for a few not-so minor points:
1. They weren't playing classical chess. They were playing faster time controls and Hikaru Nakamura is, in fact, the world #1 and only 2900 rated blitz player... and the world #4 rated rapid player. They weren't testing the abstract notion of their "deep understanding". They were testing their ability to play under pressure.
2. Magnus barely walked away with the tournament win after choosing to draw the deciding game - while Nakamura was playing to win. Apparently Nakamura is closer to Magnus's ability to play blitz and rapid than the original poster implies.
3. It was a Twitter troll who made the ignorant comment.
I think most people were amazed by both players. Why disrespect either one of them because of something written by a random idiot?
