You need a rating of 2800 to play him usually. He always plays rated so won't play anyone under that.

You might be able to get a game during Nakamura's knockouts.

daFoxy

I don't think anyone with a rating below 1800 has a chance playing with him.

warkanot

well I'm 1965 here so I have a chance?

daFoxy

Small chance maybe.

well the ones that exist

ESP-918

Any thing below GM title, he has to consider or have a speacial reason why to.

I would say an FM lowest he would go, unless a NM or CM REALLY convince him.

Actually you may have a chance in corespondance

I believe I saw it mentioned that he had once bought a new phone, having troubles with it and to see if it worked he played against someone 1300, ie to test the phone not to play as such.

Actually he accepts challenges in his streams here on chess.com regardless of rating. So you might have a chance then.

GM Eric Hansen also streams often and plays with random viewers

Some of you guys are unreal. You hold this Nakamura up on a pedestal when the reality is that he's just a strange little autistic Asian man. The guy has literally done NOTHING in his life but play chess.

I don't think that saying the only thing someone is good for is playing chess is a viable insult on a chess website.
