Nakamura will win. You can take that to the bank.
…oh I forgot to add. Nakamura will take all your money to the bank. He will go down as the greatest chess player (in Japan).
Which bank? Lehman Brothers?
This is all FIDEs fault. They have a conspiracy against Nakamura. They want to make a fool out of her but putting her in a tournament that’s obviously too tough for her. Why do they enjoy seeing Nakamura choke and blunder against Carlsen? Why? The other ongoing tournament would have been better for her that FAGerness open. Tournament title very appropriate for Nakamura as well.
Nakamura will finish last. She is not playing well. She should have played in the Fagetnes Chess Open instead here. Theres nothing to swallow here.
Not if Magnus has anything to say about it.
In Nakamura’s dream. This girl is all talk with no results.
Poor Nakamura. She made herself a laughing stock again. Rest of the players will skin her to the bone. If I were her, I’ll stay in Cali, relax and enjoy the sun. Why does she have to humiliate herself again. Stubborn gal.
Nakamura will beat anyone, includes Hikaru.
Wow, what a magnificent game by Carlsen. What a strong tournament with even Group also composed of strong players.
