Of course Nakamura will win.
Imagine in Kamsky’s first 5 visits to St. Louis he lost a total of 2 games. (Kaidanov and Nakamura in 2012). This week he lost 3 of his first 4 games.
How about….
Carlsen-Aronian. Draw.
Kamsky-Nakamura. Black win.
Tiebreak Carlsen-Nakamura. Nakamura wins with his superior blitz skills.:-)
