Missed opportunities by Caruana and Carlsen
Caruana is no match for Nakamura.
What a chicken this Nakamura opting to do a move repetition instead of slugging it out? If he’s really a genius as his fans claim, why opt for the easy way out?
Naka started tearing and Caruana missed Rxg6 as he was too distracted by the tears.
Caruana just give Nakamura the draw and not to embarrass him further. After all he already won long before the tourney end (halfway). Nakamura should be grateful for Caruana’s generosity and kindness, he should have stick to my prediction of having only 4 draws without it. Very very poor Nakamura he doesn’t belong to this group.
