You missed what my post was responding to.
You said that Hikaru has beaten Carlsen. The other guy said not in classical chess.
You seemed to think that this was some implication on a classical style. He meant Hikaru hasn't won a long time control game.
I'd wager he has. Ok... most games we get to see in top events, is not meant to mean he doesn't play standard. Keep in mind, Naka is as the nickname goes, the blitz king. Though it would be refreshing to see him play a couple of standard games... may sort the wheat from the chaff. I myself work far superior to standard chess than I do in blitz. I work well in complicated scenario's rather than working against time troubles.
I'm confused. What do you mean by standard? If standard is meant as Classical games and rapid games, then I guess Nakamura has one win, according to chessgames. But he still hasn't won a classical game against Carlsen, which are the games being played in world championship matches.
Holds an edge? In what sense?
Naka is known for being the ''blitz king''... I have never heard anyone refer to Carlsen in such a way.
Carlsen has a slight edge in their individual blitz games. According to chessgames, Carlsen has beaten Nakamura 5 to 4 in blitz games. Well, at least according to chessgames.com.
