Hikaru Nakamura is better than Magnus Carlsen?

Hikaru has said, himself, that Carlsen is "slightly better" than him at every phase of the game. So, slightly better at openings, slightly better at middle-games, slightly better at endgames ...

And when one's opponent is slightly better than you at everything, it's really quite difficult to beat them.

Vishy is a better player.

Magnus is a multiple times world champion and still is number 1 after almost a decade on top.. There's no debate in who's better

no

Vishy anand has defeated hikaru, but only drawn or lost by magnus..

Well, if there is one single thing Nakamura is better at than Carlsen, it is playing against Anand. Nakamura has an incredible 8-1 score in wins against Anand in classical, while Carlsen has 12-8.

Just to be clear, their head-to-head score in classical in 2016 after Bilbao Masters was 12-1 in favor of Carlsen. Since then, Magnus has only won 2 decisive games against Hikaru, so the unevenness has since subsided

I don't think magnus is the best player because I have been using his app and he did not even told how to play the game correctly

He dont want to share his secrets, he is afraid if someone can beat him by his teachings

rules are not sharing lol

i think that means rules, not teachings

Yes. Hikaru has better fashion sense.

Only an American would say Nakamura is better

No.

if that's the case, then why doesn't naka have a higher USCF and FIDE rating. Besides, magnus has 19 wins over naka, idk how many draws, and only 1 loss. At least that's what I've heard
