Where’s Kramnik, Aronian, and Nakamura?
IDIOT! Can you not read… it says “RUSSIAN Superfinal”! Nakamura is a sushi not a russian lol
Again? Are you kidding me? Nakamura’s exclusion from all these events represents clear bias and a transparent conspiracy to hold true talent down. Kirsan and his cheaters will not prevail in the end. Cheaters. Duh.
Nakamura is GM Chicken… ALWAYS Chicken out from all strong tournaments… cant even get in Candidates nor cant beat Carlsen… GM Nakamura is the greatest talker & flopper of all time 🙂
