Is this a joke? I know this is Hikaru writing this. Listen Hikaru, Kramnik would win a 24 game match against you 6-3 with 15 draws. You're not ready. The conversation starts for you in a few years. Not now
Hikaru Nakamura or Kraminnik?
Sort:
no this is not Hikaru, i'm talking about later too, a few years later
It's not Kraminnik, it's Kramnik and Nakamura doesn't have the slightest chance.
Hikaru showed in London that he's not ready for any of the elite players. Corus will be an even bigger test for him, lets see how he does there.
good point
plus hes still young

Nakamura knows how to spell Kramnik
lol, i don't
NNaa33, that's not the only chess name you're spelling wrong. Remember, Google and Wiki are your friends :)
Nakamura would get crushed right now. after a few years he will be more mature and stronger while kramnik should be on the decline...so maybe in 10 years Naka might win...from what i understand Naka is kinda lazy and likes to play superfast chess which, in my opinion, takes away from ones classical time control OTB chess prowess. so if Naka had a better work ethic and played more classical games then he might stand to draw Kramnik in the next few years...but then again Kramnik beat Kasparov in a match which would require superhuman powers of preperation, and concentration, plus cutting edge theoretical knowledge of all aspects of the game and nerves of steel... if kramnik can survive a Garry Kasparov sophisticated attack then he could fend off Naka's somewhat crude (compared to Kaspy's) attempts to confuse and rattle Kramnik.

lol, i'm tooo lazy, so i use the phonetic version of the name
My rather unscientific opinion is that Nakamura will plateau below what is required for candidate status.
thats true based on how he did in London
well well what do we have here 
Who do you think is better, Hikaru Nakamura or Kraminnik? Kramminik has been the world champion and has a lot of experience but Hikaru Nakamura is getting alot stronger and has won some major tournamenst. Hikaru Nakamura is also in his youth so that is when you absorb the most knowwledge and you're usually at your strongest point. But Kramminik has seen many games, knows how to play against many positions, and is very decent. So i ask you to say who you think is better!
