Nakamura will play these pretenders in a simul and beat all of them. The organizers are scared of inviting him and embarrassing these FM master strength gms.
All 2nd round match appearsheaded to a draw especial the Nepomniatchchi-So game match. This tournament starting to get boring… do we expect to see more draws until round 7?
So where are the draws on the 2nd round that Anon is saying that the tournament is starting to get boring. a patzer comments!!
Nakamura was probably invited but rejected due to lowly rated players. Nakamura don’t play against lowly players you know. It’s all about the rating. If a 2700+ player draws with a 2300+ do you know the rating loss will be? See my point?
