Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Only 1, Nakamura.
Strangely, Nakamura didn’t qualify for the candidates.
Nakamura should be the challenger by acclamation. He is already the champion in the minds of most.
Nakamura would have been interesting. he should have got a place in the candidates. But then, Kramnik is afraid of him,for sure!.
Nakamura or Kramnik
Nakamura, really? Hasn’t won a game against Carlsen in traditional time controls? Dude talks big game, but hasn’t shown.
Naka
Vishy has implied he will withdraw. Caruana will be given his slot. Winner will be Lev or Caru.
Why is the World Championship so often? What happened to ever 4 years? The players are forced to find surprises too often in too many Candidates matches. Must be hell for the players, and… it doesn’t help me to appreciate chess any better.
en mi punto de vista sin duda alguna Levon Aronian el dio sorpresas en algunas partidas en la que se enfrento contra magnus carlsen le dio dolores de cabeza de vez en cuando y una partidas de ellos en el 2013 Levon Aronian le propuso tablas pero despues de horas pensando el joven magnus carlsen puedo ganar la partida Levon Aronian es mejor que magnus carlsen pero en Levon Aronian es muy haragan y le cuesta pensar a pesar de su edad
in my view undoubtedly Levon Aronian he gave surprises in some games in which they faced against magnus I carlsen gave him headaches occasionally and heading them in 2013 Levon Aronian proposed tables but after hours thinking young magnus carlsen can win the game Levon Aronian is better than magnus carlsen but Levon Aronian is very Loafer and trouble thinking despite his age
