"Are Kramnik's accusations getting to Hikaru?!"

Sort:

Easily the most out of shape tussler at the tournament, the 'interesting' American 'tilter' hasn't exactly been 'improving!' The blank gaze deepening, vulnerability clearly visible, he was quickly off to an abysmal start. After a disheartening Armageddon defeat to Master Mozart, the overextended underdog was clearly hurting. But a wounded beast is a dangerous one, they say, and the full brunt of his built-up frustration was soon set free upon an unfortunate Frenchman.

Yet just shy of a miraculous return, he was stopped short in his tracks by a cunning Comeback-craftsman. Counterplay against the crafty Kazakh simply could not succeed, and Hikaro-Kann begrudgingly concluded the competition with just 25 grand. 

The sun setting prematurely on his Toronto tour, he turns his eyes south hoping for a brighter 'Sunrise.' Whether or not Kramnik's poisonous punditry has indeed wounded the Samurai, still remains unknown. But be what it may, he's got some serious self-assessment to do if he's to pull out of his slump.

No more so than the more rigid anti-cheat measures upheld in London hampers Niemann´s style.

Does your answer mean that you indeed believe the scandal is affecting his play, just not as much as anti-cheat measures affect Niemann's?

Either or or neither nor. What is swedish wisecracking? And are ther other than witless varieties?

As for if Kramniks bullying has affected Nakamura I have no idea. Do you think it is so?

If you'd have actually taken the time to read my post you'd have seen that I claimed it's unknown whether or not Kramnik is the cause for his collapse.

Exactly. So if or not was the subject you wanted to discuss. No?

Yes. I am unsure, and would like to hear people's opinion.

I actually very much like Swedes and find them to be perhaps the kindest people on the planet.

Us true Americans have indeed lost control over our homeland since Kennedy's assassination. Your country Is still great and I respect it. Keep it that way.

Well, act it then, and realize that citizens of other nations are just as patriotic.

Honestly, I only added 'Swedish,' because it fell in nicely with the wording. In retrospect I should have indeed left it out. I don't know though why you keep on acting the fool, when you know yourself i mean no disrepect to your people.
