Hikaru Nakamura, one of the world’s greatest blitz and rapid players and a legend of online chess, faces compatriot Fabiano Caruana in a Queen’s Gambit Accepted — a classical, solid opening where theory runs deep. Caruana, Nakamura’s fiercest American rival, brings formidable analytical precision to the board. These two know each other’s games inside and out, which makes every encounter between them a uniquely intense battle of preparation and nerves.
