It should be me, because I’m the best. I beat my father in 8 moves, and he once beat his father. And his father owned a lot of chess books.
Would love to See Gelfand or Chukky get that slot.
Either Caruana or Nakamura.
I guess its Nakamura!
Caruana, Fabiano g ITA 2779 10 1992
Because he has the next spot in the world cup I guess.
Caruana, Fabiano g ITA 2779 10 1992
Because he has the next spot in the Grand Prix series.
NAKAMURA! NAKAMURA! NAKAMURA! That will add some Spice to a somewhat bland (seen them before ) group.
Caruana
