Naka is much better at blitz and has much more consistent results. The reason he loses to Carlsen is because he respects him too much. He’s worse in Classical and Rapid though. I guess we’ll see what happens in the Speedchess Tournament 

You are probably joking, because if you aren't then ill go hit myself on the head 10 times because of how wrong that is -_-

Naka beat Fedoseev a lot more convincingly then Carlsen beat Artemiev. Also, Naka has a better rating on both chess.com and FIDE.

It's probably going to be a Naka vs Carlsen final so we'll see what happens then

why do people suggest slow games for improvement? it's more like 2 hours of one game or 2 hours of many games

Discussions like this is why I am so hyped for March 15. I am even more hyped for the wave of analysis videos my favorite content creators will make after the conclusion of the WCC.

Magnus is definelty better than Hikaru in classical...

Not sure, I am most definitely wrong. I don't know if the Championship match's details (time, location, etc.) are finalized, I just remember that I read about Dubai being the likely host of the tournament in early 2019. I just moved the dates up.

He's also better in speed chess.

se4sons

debatable, how do u define "better"? cuz they'll most likely draw eachother 90% of the time

DreamscapeHorizons

Welp, what I mean by better is that when they play each other Magnus wins more than Naka. Also, Magnus has multiple speed chess world championships. Naka hasn't won his first world championship yet. 

Oh yeah, almost forgot. They've played matches twice on here, same event, The Magster won both matches.

Bruh magnus doesn't even play on chess.com. If he did then he would be like 3300 lol

5-0 in blitz, 14-1 in classical and 1-1 in rapid (not counting the draws of course), he lost 3 times to Nakamura in the entire career in FIDE events and you say this is not an argument? Ok, I respect that view.

You are saying that 87 games is not enough ... well then we should wait for them to play 2 000 games to declare who is better, because it is certainly a moot point at present time. happy.png

My opinion, is that Hikaru is better at blitz chess, theyŕe around equal in rapid chess, but Magnus is superior in classical, where it really matters.

How can he be better if it is 5-0 for Carlsen in blitz in their official FIDE matches (with 16 draws)?
