I'm surprised that your that naive, hilary was just acting. You see all the time in politics, trump donating his entire presidential salary to charity wasn't an act of kindness. Pretending to be kind is easier than actually being kind, just because hilary did something nice doesn't change his track record of being a sore loser and drawer. For example after drawing a winning position against Gawain Jones, he claimed that Gwain knew nothing about chess, even though he was 2600.

WOW!.

My d@mn autocorrect changed hikaru into hilary.

Your auto correct and chess.com autobots are conspiring to ban you for violating the tos with political comments. Your days here are numbered...

I could easily be the world champ if it weren't for... how many people are higher rated than me? We'll just say 1,000,000 people. Yeah, I'd be world champ if it weren't for 1,000,000 people.

I think if a player claims they would've been world champion if it weren't for the current champion then they should at least be able to prove they can get into the candidates multiple times (not just once) and finish consistently near the top or win it (not in the middle... once).

Hikaru says things like he would have been world champ if it weren't for Magnus, and rates himself higher than players like Caruana.

Can we get some real chess players to comment? Not the worse-than-beginner Twitch fanboys?

Naka is not, and has never been, in the same class as players like Caruana. He broke 2800 once in 2015 when circumstances saw him stumble into the world #2 spot. But consistently across his career, he's been lower than 2800 and lower than world #5. He is currently world number 18.

Caruana is consistently (year after year) over 2800 and consistently in the top 5.

THIS IS NOT WHAT A TOP TIER PLAYER LOOKS LIKE AT AGE 32.

---

Naka has never been a world champion contender. He doesn't belong on a list of players like Keres, Korchnoi, and Bronstein. He could have been WC if it weren't for Carlsen? He only qualified for one candidates tournament and he finished on 50% (3 wins and 3 losses).

Comparing himself to someone like Caruana who didn't lose a single game in a match with arguably one of the greatest players of all time is ridiculous.

looks like Naka was right. 2023 update says otherwise.

World #5, sure, he's spent his entire career around that (a little lower, but around that spot).

I have no problem with him saying he's a top 10 player today.

But he's nowhere close to being a top 10 player of all time. He's like, around #100.
