Hikaru Nakamura joins chess.com

While I don't like Nakamura, he is a world class player, a boss at tactics, and amazing at fast chess. He's joined chess.com


 

(note adding by staff - this is guesswork and NOT confirmed)


 

I'm sure no bio is necessary.

Yeah, a GM is going to have multiple accounts... In the words of Dr. Evil (complete with pinky held to corner of mouth) "Rrrrriiiiiiiggggghhhhhttttt....."

He played Blitz/Bullet for quite a while today. Already 2802 on bullet.

A titled player is allowed to have mulitple accounts.... :)))

why not? I can't imagine Naka doing anything chess.com would regret letting him do here.

It was never confirmed that Phoenix is Nakamura.

Looking forward to the IM AceChess vs. GM Phoenix live chess rematch!

First one was very instructive.

(Rumor is, AceChess is really IM Daniel Rensch! But shhh!)

Please, next time preface a post like that with ***Spoiler Alert*** or something so I can at least brace myself to absorb the shock. 

But in all seriousness, IF he really did change his username to DanielRensch, then I'm about 99.9% certain it is IM Daniel Rensch who is playing under that account.

Well I challenged him to a game, my 6 game losing streak in online chess obviously isnt enough punishment!
