*World number 7

Hey Grandmaster Nakamura!
Do you have any plans for pursuing the World Championship Title? If so, how are you going to go about it? Which qualifying events are you likely to enter?

EDIT: How do you view your fellow Top Ten players in the world relative to the greats of other time periods?

EDIT II: When you're watching a super-tournament that you're not participating in (such as the Candidates this year) do you watch it as a fan or do you use it to size up the competition, examine others opening preparation and search for new ideas?

Do you have a favorite game to revisit and admire? For me it's Kasparov's "Octopus Knight" game. My performance ratings jumped nearly 300 points as a result of studying that game, I learn something new every time I look at it.

I think any competent club player (1800+) should have no real problems against this system. Equality should be reached in a couple of moves without any real theoretical debate. It's not unsound in any way, it just doesn't try to force an advantage in the opening phase.
