lol, I thought it was funny.  Seems like the people didn't get it.

A 20 second clip of Magnus appearing on Norwegian TV. He was playing a simul against a group of politicians. Evidently, the group played the same opening that Nakamura had played against him recently and so Magnus said, "So far they have played well. They are playing like Nakamura." 

// I find it hard to stretch that into an insult but your mind may vary.

Magnus acted like it was funny.

Anyway, "playing like Nakamura" against Carlsen means you can't win.

Or maybe he was smiling and looking at them trying to make sure it wasn't taken as an insult?  I guess that's more likely.

Hahaha. Carlsen (and Naka) have a sense of humor. Get over it, guys.
