Why can't Nakamura beat Carlsen?

Is it that Nakamura can't understand/handle Carlsen's style? Or that Nakamura goes into his games with Magnus already beaten in his mind? A few more losses without a win may just make that last bit true.

The same reason almost every other chess player in the world can't handle him--he's a rare, genius talent.

True, but other players who are as strong as Nakamura have beaten Carlsen.

The score is 10 wins, 15 draws amd no losses in Carlson's favour.

One wonders how Nak got those 15 draws 🙂

In the first draw, Carlsen had a toothache. In the second game he had a
headache. In the third game it was an attack of rheumatism...
