No worry. Lotis Key will help Wesley bounce back. He’ll win Tata Steel by 4 points.
This is to be expected from their blitz ratings, where Nakamura is at least 150 points ahead. A classic match would have been much more interesting.
Pronosticaba un resultado más parejo. Considero muy bueno estos matches para promover la práctica del ajedrez masivamente. Me atrevo a proponer a Carslen, Grischuk, Mamedyarov, Nepomniachtchi, Shuang Lei o Morozevich como futuros rivales de Nakamura en estos ritmos. Saludos.
Praise the Lord for Lotis. Without her, Wesley will never become world champion.
Wesley will be invincible in Wijk aan Zee. He has divine power from Mrs. Lotis Key.
Halleluiah. Let’s praise Wesley and Lotis. They need it desperately. Clap clap clap. Wonderful! congratulations! Now we make them very happy.
Nakamura is best beating toddlers. How about Caruana or Topalov, Naka.
It should be noted that this is in a blitz/bullet game (5,3 and 1 minute sections) but yes ok the scores proved that GM Hikaru owns the fast game. Congrats to GM Hikaru and goodluck to GM Wesley So for his upcoming Tata Steel tournament.
I think Wesley So lose because of distractions from Lotis Key.
This is for fun and entertainment for the masses on the net, in a real over the board classic chess, we will see who is better! Nakamura is getting old,he hears the footstep behind him. Wesley will be playing board one for USA soon.
I think Wesley So will become world champion because of Lotis Key.
With new manager Lotis Key much hope for Wesley So to become world champion.
