    I stand corrected, it appears that Nakamura just beat Carlson in a Blitz tournament.

    However, I think in a full length game, Carlson would be clearly superior, as he is currently rated 76 elo points higher than Nakamura.

    I thought that on ICC Nakamura has a chess grade of 3326. Something crazy!
    He is the best though
