Aronian rocks. But Nakamura is way better than him.
I gave Credit to Ananad for being pragmatic…….and not really trying to win anything…just keep in shape. But Yesterday..after masterfully building up a great position……he cracked. He’s showing a vulnerability I think everyone senses…Still a tough man to beat..but he’s beatable..even in a bad position. Congrats Hikaru!
Sure Naka is better than Aronian, thats why Naka is No. 11 and Aronian only No. 2
Naka NEVER will bei No. 2 – at least not in chess
