Nakamura denies Carlsen’s comeback to win 2023 Bullet Chess Championship

Hikaru Nakamura secured his fourth Bullet Chess Championship title on July 21, completing a flawless upper-bracket run at the expense of many elite-level players. Nakamura fought his way through the likes of Daniel Naroditsky and Alireza Firouzja before defeating Magnus Carlsen himself in the grand final.

Even though the world No. 1 was able to overhaul a five-point deficit on multiple occasions in the series and pushed to overtime, Nakamura was ultimately able to clinch the series with a 17.0-15.0 scoreline with a return match to spare.
