Not many, since Carlsen has won.

The cream rises to the top.

Carsen is ugly

Who else agrees that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player right now?

Only Carlsen and some Real Madrid supporters.

26 new comments on this thread when I woke up this morning and most not exactly ontopic. Why would people care so much what KingMagikarp puts on his/her profile? It's her/his little space on this website. I do agree that some of those threads he/she started are a bit weird, to put it lightly, but this thread reminded me of some sort of FBI interrogation.

Yeah, so handsome that I forgot to type the 'l' in his name. Frown

I don't think I've seen Carlsen do a Queen sac.

Now, Hikaru, is the master when it comes to sacing the queen. Let me find the game that he mentions in the video.

Sorry, I was forced to add his main sponsor.

Thank you Spectator94...they totally derailed my topic.  And yes I am a SHE lol.  I know it is odd to see female chess players haha.  And no, my name is a bit different to prevent stalkers (my problem).  

But yes, back to Nakamura discussion...that queen sac game posted was absolutely stunning.  His opponent must have been like O_O

Not that odd to me. I've played a ton of girls and women in OTB chess over the years with rather mediocre results. As for the internet, one can't be sure about someone's true identity but I don't think it even matters. I think what a person says is more important. Anyway, back on topic, I actually had the pleasure to play GM Krasenkow - the victim of Naka's Queen sac - in an OTB tournament last summer. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten myself into a system sometimes even named after him, the KID with 6. h3. I made quite a dubious move shortly thereafter and had pretty much no chance then. Atleast I got a nice picture as a souvenir, lol.

fabelhaft

This is the question Carlsen should be asked.

I'm tempted to post a game where Hikaru destroys Carlsen.

You won't be able to find any, at least not in classical time controls. Carlsen has never lost to Naka in classical chess.

I like Naka, he has matured into a great player. His fans tend to overstate how good he is though.

Okayyyyyyyyyy.

You are right, I searched and could'nt find a classical.

Chess.com's IM Rensch does a nice commentary in a few blitz games. I'll find that.

@Mr Panda.

Repeat...Hikaru destroys Carlsen.

That game you posted is all wrong :(

*wow, if thats the way Carlsen plays, then even I can beat him Laughing*

There is a game where Hikaru was something like +10 and managed to find the only way to not win Frown

I think Carlsen would disagree.

Not only not to win, but to lose.
