WOW!! Magnus got “Carlsened”.
Undoubtedly the competition is catching up with the young guns Caruana & Karjakin giving Magnus a run for the money. But can anyone defeat Magnus in a lomg match? ( World Championships? ). That will take some doing, as the level of play of anybody opposing Magnus,has to be consistently on a very high level.
Definitely, Nakamura is up for the challenge. But is Carlsen ready? Carlsen is scared of Nakamura. When Carlsen plays Nakamura, Carlsen plays with his tail between his legs.
Carlsen blundered with a rook move. It should be BxP and its a draw. Well, you cant win em all. Give someone a chance or else it wont be an exciting tournament. Carlsen will still prevail.
lol thats silly. im a fan of nakamura, but lets be honest here. he is not a world class player.
