That’s correct. There are 5-6 others who are at least modestly compelling.

At least it would have had the spectacle of continued dominance by arguably the best player in history.
The obvious step down from Magnus with the ChiCom and the Rooskie - who are demonstrably no better than Hikaru, Fabi, So, or Firouzja is a let down. It’s TCU-USC in the CFP."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

My boy? That does make me think, though: do I even have a GM out there I really like? Magnus is a historically great player that I enjoy watching. Or was. He’s playing poker last I heard. I guess it would be Hikaru, who is likable, funny and plays aggressively.
Fabi is a hired gun for America, whereas Hikaru wasn’t. He could have legitimately played under the Japanese flag but once replied when asked why he became a US citizen at such an early age that the US was the greatest country in the world. He has flown the Stars and Stripes in every major tournament and been on the US team for every Olympiad he’s played in.
So, yeah, give me Hikaru Nakamura."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

I like Hikaru. Plus he has a YT channel! And it's cool for patzers like me to watch him explain, very quickly, his thought processes. Watching him "Guess the ELO" is great. I mean, he clicks through a chess.com game in 15 seconds reciting the moves before he clicks on them, notes the garbage and the good instanteously (e.g., move 27, "Qe6 is weird") and then almost always undervalues the ELO.
I guess that's why he's so goddamn good at bullet.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

But, Hikaru ultimately has to decide if he wants to be a FIDE champion. He still couldn't beat Magnus, but he's as good as anyone else.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
