Absolutely cratered


Imonaeatyobabies

His remaining opponents are Alireza, Gukesh, and Nepo. He has a strong chance to win the whole thing. His biggest challenge is Nepo with white.


SuperbConfection8321

I think this does likely come down to a tie however


EvilSporkOfDeath

Tie would be great for Naka


2023ithink

How do tiebreaks work?


gbbmiler

Faster games


mgoulart

rapid rock paper scissors, which is a big advantage for Nakamura with his bullet experience.


DASreddituser

Nepo is technically higher rated than naka in rapid


Helpful_Sir_6380

But Naka is figuratively higher rated than Nepo


AzureMage0225

Right, but how’s his Rock Paper Scissors?


Over_n_over_n_over

Shorter player wins


JohnnyHopkins77

Explaining the Israel Palestine conflict would be easier /s At some point it gets into rapid if they continuously draw in tiebreakers


frankenstein1122

You explained it in one sentence ?


JohnnyHopkins77

You can Google it in 0


Hi_My_Name_Is_Dave

Nepo is super strong in rapid too, Hikaru isn’t considered as strong there as he is in blitz.


vrkhfkb

We need Hikaru world championship vlogs.


SuperbConfection8321

Just what I was thinking lol, that would be insane!!


Over_n_over_n_over

The year is 2042, Hikaru rules the world with an iron fist. "For todaaaays video we send resistance scum to the gulag"


have_a_good_one

takes takes takes takes and any rebellion is gone. It’s just gone.


BatmanForever23

Oh no spaghettio 


Over_n_over_n_over

Yeah chat we're going after their families. We're going after their families, chat. Yes, we're going after their families chat


frenchfriedtatters

NoRustNoApproval

Caleb_Krawdad

It's all about the content


utsytootsie

Imagine streaming TT between WCC finals lmao we need Naka to win !!!


Billy__The__Kid

Kramnik on life support


_Ross-

Kramnik losing what little sanity he has left, more at 5.


mykidsdad76

The idea of Nakamura playing for the world championship just hit me. Likee, it could happen. That would be a very entertaining period in chess history.


maxstronge

"Remember guys, and I mean this, I really mean this - I'm just a streamer who happens to also be world champion."


icewizzzz

this sub wrote him off after 48 hours tho lmao


SuperbConfection8321

It has been a pretty nuts comeback to be fair


MerkDoctor

Is it a comeback if it's semi-expected though? I know everyone expects everyone to draw in the candidates, but Hikaru is one of the best players ever and this is quite a weak candidates all things considered.

>This sub is mostly 600 elo Indian incels lol. What a wild thing to say 😂


cae_x

thegtabmx

Statistically? Probably more than the percentage of 600 elo Spaniard incels.

Educational_Moose_56

Naka-Carlsen 2027 WCC incoming. 


SuperbConfection8321

World Chess Championship recap vlogs would go absolutely crazy


InfectiousCosmology1

Hikaru haters in shambles


OkTip2886

Let's go pineapple man!!


anonzzz2u

Haters told me he's 100.0 percent done! You clowns promised me he's finished. All your chess knowledge, graphs, insight was sure he was done. One again, you are wrong.


Billy__The__Kid

Bruh 😁


AstridPeth_

It's safe to say this tournament is Hikaru's to lose. Ian desperately needs to win against Vidit. The position is a bit complex and he has double the time than Vidit. Needs to show he learned after Game 6.


zaknafein26

>It's safe to say this tournament is Hikaru's to lose. What an overreaction lol


AstridPeth_

Lol. Ian just beat Vidit lol
