Nakamura is clearly stronger. He has Carlsen’s number.
Crocodile!! That was good! The Tiger of Madras ( Anand ) beware. Hope that it will be a tough fight all the way and not a damp squib like Yifan – Ushenina.
Susan Polgar needs to stop giving so much airtime to Carlen and calling everything to do with him as ‘interesting’. The last question was especially stupid as was the overall interview. The only thing interesting about this so-called world championship is the fact that some people stand to make a lot of money and certain chess media people are looking to cash in.
When chess promoters make a lot of money, it keeps them continuing to promote chess. Do you think football (soccer) is the most popular sport in the world because its promoters lose money promoting it?
Right now, just about anything is interesting about Carlsen. Look at the facts. He’s the highest rated chessplayer in the world, he’s playing for the world chess championship in less than 90 days, he’s young and extremely marketable. Plus my teenage daughter thinks he’s “hot” which is a huge advancement for the image of world class chess players. 🙂

Carlsen is the most popular Chess player since kasparov, it’s as simple as that and at the moment he’s just stronger than all his rivals, a player like Carlsen is good for the game, and btw he will be the world champion by beating Anand by at least 2 points, and going forward his main rivals will be aronian, caruana, karjakin and giri, nada is a great player but he’s too wild to beat Carlsen, and kramnik while still great is getting old, he won’t be able to keep up.
