Nakamura will be the next world champion. He owns Carlsen in head to head matchup.
Boris Gelfand is one tough cookie. Caruana and Grischuk don’t have any hope now of going to the Candidates’. Mamedyarov is in.
By the way, if Nakamura ever becomes the World Champion of (classic) chess, I will stand Anonymous to a keg of beer.
