I think it will be:

Board 1: Magnus Carlsen

Board 2: Viswanathan Anand

Board 3: Fabiano Caruana

Board 4: Hikaru Nakamura

And Veselin Topalov as replacement

We get it, you don't understand Caruana was born in America, raised in America, etc.  Not sure why you'd want to parade that ignorance around like this, but I guess feel free.

hehehe trying to mock United state Chess? We all know Caruana has got dual citizenship and is free to change federations at anytime he wants. its a decision  he has chosen to take.

Close, but no cigar.

 

The replacement will be Wesley So.

But on the other hand we cant blame them. A capitalist degrading country cannot produce strong chess players.

I thought Armenia, India and Russia, for example, are capitalist countries too. What does that have to do with anything?

North Korean chess masters are the best, though.

Kinda like Messi, Neymar, and Suarez.  

That's different, because the competition also includes professional imports in that case. Benatia is not German, Christiano Ronaldo is not Spanish, and Tevez is not Italian.
