They finally landed Naka! I don't really know if anyone on the planet has a shot against him in this format (Carlsen is the one obvious candidate, but this isn't standard and I suspect Naka's quite a bit stronger in the one-minute games, and at worst a small underdog in the five). That said, Wesley So's a pretty strong opponent for him. This one should be a blast

I'd make my "so?" joke again, but no one seemed to like it last time =/

I usually don't watch the Death Matches in their entirety, but this one should be incredible. I'd almost take Naka against anyone in the world at this format.
