To be fair, Nakamura at his best is God-like.
well you know i dont know god like and i havent watched too many games of him, but from a logical standpoint regurlarly outplaying GMs in worse positions (if the positional assessment was correct) and holding the highest blitz rating speaks for itself.
Maybe, but it seems Nakamura is psyched out by Carlsen. He's been dominated by Magnus the last several games. Really I think Gata Kamsky has just as much chance as Nakamura to beat Carlsen, and perhaps moreso. That's not saying they have a good chance at this point to be clear.
but you know its hard to play players you lost to, you know sometimes even if you are better you could still lose because of that. I dont know about Kamsky too much to be honest, but i think Alex Yermolinsky ones said: We cant defend passivly, you can only defend passivly if your name is Kamsky lol
Firebrand i just realised you might have said something similar though less nice, i have a slight reading problem.
Nakamura is the kind of player Magnus likes kicking in the butt in all possible ways. Their last game should be censored- it falls into the category of hard porn.

Humiliating, to say the very least.
