Hi Woody.
"He was totally winning too."
Not having a go mate but if you refer to a game in this day and age it so
easy to drop it into the forum. You have obviously seen the game and
sharing is nice. (end of lecture) 😉
According to some lad on chessgames.com this makes it 8-0 (with 15 draws) in Carlsen's favour.
If so then the Nak has some big psycological hurdle to get over.
When he does...and surely he eventually will, Things may turn around.
I had a 9-0 (no draws) score over a Scottish lad then one day he won one.
then another...and another....he pulled it back to 9-5 till I finally drew one.
Hikaru Nakamura vs Magnus Carlsen Zurich Chess Challenge (2014)
I'm sure we would all like to see a World Championship between these two
