The only one who can stop Magnus is Nakamura. He has Magnus’ number.
Really? How is.that? Nakamura NEVER won a classical time control against Magnus. NEVER. What number does he have on Magnus? A ZERO?
Indeed Carlsen is doing great. It is only a matter of time that he breaks Kasparov’s record elo. H’ever Kaspy then, is sure to talk about rating inflation etc. BUT Carlsen must stick to it and beat some strong contenders in man to man World Championships matches to truly be regarded as a ‘great’.
So Naka is no longer among the truly elite…maybe that’ll light the fire. One thing I do wish…that Carlsen would pay a bit mre attention to his appearance – his clothes and posture – he always looks like such a slug.
Wow, maximus truly has a brilliant handsome brain!!!!!!!
