The one that reached the first place at the World Chess Blitz list
He is known for many chess specialists as the best online chess player. It also tops the list of blitz players. Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura reached a rating of 2900 in blitz (considering games of 5'0 or 3'2 ''). For this reason, he is currently number 1 on the world´s chess blitz list.

Actually, World chess champion GM Magnus Carlsen is in second place in the Blitz ranking.

In the last World Chess Championship, GM Nakamura beat many high level masters. In this particular game, it's amazing how he took advantage of his strategic chess skills shown in the match.
