Anyone with half a brain knows that Nakamura is way better than all these patzers. He’s just being a good host.
Anyone who believes Nakamura is an elite chess player are full of hallucinations, a fool. .
amazing performance —
he beat carlsen too
Anyone with a half brain knows that Nakamura has a big mouth. Promoting himself as one of the elite in chess. Don’t be fooled.
Super has never lost. My my my…. This is unreal!
Listen everybody: it’s an oustanding performence by FabFab! But, if we compare him to Colossal Carlsen’s achievements, he’s more or less still a ‘teenager’. After this tournament FabFab will have to deal with what ColCar is dealing with for a long time: keep on winning games. Eevery game ColCar draws, means loss of ELO. To be able to keep up an ELO higher then old King Kasparov’s ELO, is more then an achievement. It’s devine in our digital chess era. Eventhough this is not ColCar’s best tournament, again he’s playing on a 2834 rating (after round 7, in this field!), only losing to FabFab.
Fab Fab is playing top-of-the-top players of whom some are not performing how they are supposed to (of course this also applies for ColCar!). Yet, it’s this fact that FabFab will have to overcome in future play: consistancy, winning games. Something ColCar has proved being able to.
Can FabFab, like ColCar? I don’t think so. Mark my words: we will witness that top opponents at least will draw FabFab more often. Which means….? Loss of ELO.
Nevertheless i truly admire FabFab. Hopefully next cycle we’ll have a WC match “Colossal Carlsen – Fabulous Fabiano”!
Nakamura has reached his top play a couple of years ago. He cannot grow anymore in chess, unless they chip his brain.
He’s not even close to Aronian, who is not even close to FabFab, who is not even close to Anand, who is not even close to Karpov, who is not even close to Kasparov/Fischer, who are not even close to Carlsen.
I mean: way way off!
Nakamura, at this point, needs to pull a “late-60’s Fischer”: Disappear, study chess, get his game and his head in order.
Then, come back and see how far his innate talent can carry him.
I think the worse thing for doing something badly is to continue doing it, only deepening the hole.
No doubt Naka is growing as a player and is in between growth spurts. His rating proves he is a super GM, those that detract from him prove they are not, and are in fact, just haters.
Naka is between style changes, he will be stronger in just a bit. His rating proves he is a super GM and if you’re too dumb to realize that because you are so hateful, sorry for you.
ELO pressure? Considering what it is, a relative measure, that’s something that would only matter matters to players with big egos or a fawning public.
If the post-fame interviews are any indicator, Caruana is sensible and gives ELO rating short shrift…and Magnus should do the same. He needs to climb out of his current slump.
Good moves are what matters…not irrelevant numbers or expectations. Certainly not what others expect.
Why all the hate towards Nakamura? This post is about Fabiano. I suspect some the chess players posting here tend to perform from time to time and projecting their own losses onto Nakamura. Nakmura IS an elite chess player, and yes he’s not having a great tournament.
Some people were born with brain capacity and Nakamura has reached that point. He can no longer improved. His brain max out already. While other young prodigies has a brain so young and has a lot of room for improvement. That’s the reason why Naka’s playin skills are regressing. Karpov, Topalov, Anand, Gefland, others…
Are you saying that Rex Sinquefield picked the wrong horse to back up. Nakamura they said is the best player in the Universe. So what happened.
Super GM base on ELO points. Question is, how did the great Naka acquired those points. Ha ha ha. By playing sub par opponents to pad up his rating. But when the real competition comes, he folded. Naka is one of dumbest guy I have ever seen. He’s egoistic animal.
The Nakamura bashing and the silly opinions about the limits of his talent indicate that our beloved game has both idiots and clowns among its fans.
There’s not one poster here who could last more than 30 moves against Nakamura, one on one.
Grow up…or at least fake it!
A Nakamura fan defender, Sicilian style in, denial. My 4 year old daughter will dust Naka in 16 moves, dummy.
My bliind puppy will beat Nakamura, not bliind folded but while playing with its toy in 15 moves.
My 98 grandma will kick Nakamura’s butt in 12 moves.
My 6 year son will smash Nakamura in 7 moves easily.
I am a 17 year old junior high school student and I am 100 % sure that can beat Nakamura in 22 moves. I play for money though.
I own a Japanese Restaurant in St Louis and I am ready to hire Nakamura as my top notch Chef whenever he wish too after the Sinquefield Cup. Just to let him know that he doesn’t have to worry surviving this coming winter.
Spice Girl tournament is open for Nakamura to compete. He doesn’t have to worry, Zhou Yifan and Ju Wenjun are not competing
