13 yo Prodigy Destroys Magnus Carlsen & 2600 GM in 14 MOVES! Its Unprecedented!

I really suspect Yağız's team evaded from unnecessary attention by not making him the youngest GM in history. He could have had the norms much earlier. He was 2450+ by mid 2022 and he only got to 2500+ by January 2024. Thats 1.5 years, he stayed on nearly same ratings. And after he got first three GM norms, he had like 9 GM norms when his GM title was officially approved. He has beaten Polgar's "highest rated player before turning 13 record". Now he is the youngest ever to reach 2600 by far. What I mean by far is that he destroyed the previous record by nearly 1 year. Previous youngest player to reach 2600 was 14 years two months old. Yağız was 13 years 3 months old. For comparison, Carlsen reached 2600 when he was late 14 - early 15 years old.

[@satrancokulucom]

Indeed, a nice comment on the progress of Yağız Kaan Erdogmuş. In fact, Yağız obtained his 3 GM norms shortly after receiving support from Turkish investor Evren Ucok, the co-founder of one of the world's leading e-commerce companies.

[@isaacbernath]

Wow! I've been watching chess online for a few years now and I gotta say, this is probably the clearest structure of a lesson I've seen. Not too mumble gm fast, and not so many arrows an intermediate player can't keep up with (stop lying, you 1400s who think you're learning from 18 arrows). It's perfect

I think the blitz games are to hard to judge it does lead to mistakes, it’s like leveling the playing field ???

[@BosleyPandaTFT-qf1em]

Yeah you’re right. But that’s why they usually play many blitz games, it’s about consistency, not winning every single game

[@oliviervillaret1674]

I agree

[@Corteum]

High win rates in blitz or bullet dont necessarily translate to high performance in classical... as seen with players like Andrew Tang and Daniel Naroditsky for example.

[@alangrund5031]

Amazing win over Magnus. How often do you see him pushed around like this?

[@aaronchan1088]

i can only imagine how long magnus' reign would last had he not defaulted the title. he had the potential to shatter lasker's record for longest world title reign. never keep your king in the center too long... or you could lose very quickly. fausto oro could possibly become GM before the age of 12, which is unheard of.

[@aaronchan1088]

Had fabi played Nc4 instead of g3 (the game where he threw away the win, was winning at +3, but the blunder made the game +0.5, and ended in a draw), he would become the second American to become the world champ. Magnus quickly played Qe8. Fabi played Nc4 then, but it was a move too late, OUCH. Sergey also blew a win when he moved the wrong bishop to the sixth rank. Magnus would later force fixed pawns on the h file with h5, forcing gxh5 (or Magnus wins if the pawn is not taken as the white king is outside the square of the pawn), forcing the draw since both white pawns are in the h file and the black king will stop the pawns. I already chalked the upcoming WCC as a quick win for Gukesh, breaking barriers and doing something that not even Robert James Fischer has done, become world chess champ in his teens. Easy to forget Gukesh is just 18, not old enough to gamble yet.

[@louisastuto2878]

Wow a 2600 level player missing a simple knight fork tactic when not even under time pressure! Chess can be such an unforgiving game, no matter how strong a player you are many times you are one bad move away from disaster.

Once Magnus told when his ratings was very close to Anand, he got a chance to discuss several positions on board with Anand, and he learnt a lot from Anand's view of the game and Magnus told closer to Anand's ratings doesn't mean much except Magnus too is a strong player, it is all how you feel or perceive the game...

Love how 13 and 14 year olds can get obsessed, plus have infinite energy to devote to a game ... With super good computer chess software accessible on just a plain home PC these days, it is little wonder that we are seeing 13 year olds that have rote learnt millions of combos and can win a blitz even against Magnus ... 50 years ago this grand master level was only achievable for geniuses like Bobby Fischer or Garry Kasparov ... Now the criteria is being a kid with an addiction to computer chess and the staying power to do 1000s or hours practice without getting eyestrain, ... weird, wonderful, scary ?? But definitely very interesting how the world of chess has changed.

@@jkofte it is not the age which might be the main factor but performance in over the board chess tournaments. Alireza won the Iranian championship at the age of 12 which is a herculean task. Parham won the world junior championship with an elo performance of 2832. Nihal Sarin came second in world champuon under 12. Both Sarin and Alireza were GMs at the age of 14.

[@KnightEnd25]

Dude relax, Magnus is a Super GM, which means most of the encounters he still wind against his younger prodigied fellows. Super GM‘s sometimes giveaway chances/wins (they‘re human too), but most often in consideration of his opponents hard work. So they try to encourage them by saying yes we can lose to you, cause you really earned it this game. But still if both play for the win and not for a draw 9 out of 10 games would still go to the Super GM‘s. They also try to motivate younger players, but this game to be honest it really lookes lika a flawless win for Erdoğmuş, though ultimately it‘s really difficult to try and find out what a Super GM is capable of. I just think, if they play every game on serious mode they either winnor draw the game, which would feel very depressing for the opponent, if they don‘t even give you one slice of the cake away. Nakamura and Magnus are Alienlevel players, they even learned moves from Alphazero and trust me if you win even one game against them it means that you are a prodigy in this game. Erdoğmuş here at a certain move felt like an immortal game, means he knows very well to exploit king weakness until the checkmate. This game very highly resembles the playstyle of Capablanca, it doesn‘t matter what your opponent does, frommthis one mistake on he was chasing you till the end. Triple forks on heavy pieces always are a brilliancy to watch. I‘m glad Magnus plays certain openings with seemingly big weaknesses, as we can see these beautiful games. It‘s not only about winning, it‘s about fun and being thankful for your opponents to having shaped you the man you have become.
