It was like watching Jordan score 63 points in that playoff game. He is now
about 400 points above the next highest rated player, at a time control that
is supposed to be "random."
If so, why is he winning 99 percent of his games at that time control, even
against some of the world's best players?
He may already be the best player in the world, if he can ever get himself a
truly world-class repertoire. He's about 3000 once you leave the books.

Ray, that comment comming from you is very strange. Who cares for move
after 20th if the most important is first one and next important is
second one, ...?
I Think Naka repertoire is not as bad as you think. And I also think
Naka is a great young player but right now He is not in the TOP TEN no
matter what move are you looking at.
...
And finally an advice for you, look at 5 0 games!
Maybe you will find them enjoyable.
Andf I hope in the future you discover classical time control chess

Why don't you try play a few 15 minute games on ICC to find out if you
improvement in bullet has any relevance to standard time controls

Theory: In chess, it is the goal of the player to take something
random, even chaotic, and make order of it. I don't think that requires
extra explanation if you think about it.
Conclusion: Nakamura is a phenomenally strong player. He is young and
of the video game generation, making 1 0 child's play for him.
As I have aged, I have lost the ability to play 1 0 although my blitz
remains strong. I just think I reached the threshold of having the
mechanical skills to play a decent 1 0 game.
