He got lucky against Nakamura.
Nakamura sucks. Can’t beat nobody. I gave up with this guy. Time to root for somebody else.
To Nakamura fans and enemies:
Please give him a break ! He needs space to perform.
Whatever your personal opinion is, he is a high 2700 player, and has been that way for a very long time.
If you love the game, for its sake, please show some restraint.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Hoping Caruana maintains his consistency!!! Go Fabiano!!!

Wow! What a ‘Fischer’ like performance! Unbelievable!
The difference between Caruana and people like Nakamura or Aronian is that Caruana plays fighting chess. The rest (including Carlsen) play computer chess. That’s why Caruana will be world champion in the cycle after the pointless Anand-Carlsen match.
