why are these two considered rivals when nakamura has never even beaten carlsen in a classical game?
here are their heads up records:
Classical games: Magnus Carlsen beat Hikaru Nakamura 7 to 0, with 15 draws.
Including rapid/exhibition games: Magnus Carlsen beat Hikaru Nakamura 12 to 5, with 20 draws.
Only rapid/exhibition games: Magnus Carlsen tied Hikaru Nakamura 5 to 5, with 5 draws.
lol
Hikaru is a chess.com hero so everyone here hopes he can one day be as good as magnus even though he's already older.
they are rivals because they want to win
but unfortunately
i dont believe nakamura has won a game yet
