This next Judit is very cute and comes from India. Indian prodigies always break records. The little girl has the fastest rating increase in history, she is already 200 elo better than Gukesh at her age. Imagine how good she can become...

[@rajeshgajwelly9035]

As indian we are the most intelligent race on the planet. We were inventors of yoga, spiritual healing, aspirin, meditation, etc. At first people mock us, then they stay quiet, then they copy us. Yoga was not widespread and looked upon as a stupid indian practice now yoga is taught everywhere in the united states. I predict panchagavya therapeutics will become the next popular western hit. I have grown up learning about Panchagavya and the health benefits the cow can provide to us. We must first take for granted that the cow is a blessing and provides humans with food and nurture, so it is a gift to us. The cow takes in grass/feed and process that into milk/food. Therefore the waste product of the cow is also clean and holy. That is why cow pee is beneficial to our health, and cow dung is free from anti-bacteria. It is because the cow is holy and all-giving so this is why some doctors reccomend eating cow dung to improve immune response.

This just shows how important the upbringing and parental support is for such children. Whether she is able to handle the pressure and get ahead in this field will highly depend on the kind of support she gets from her family and friends.

Long way to go. She is not even the strongest 9 y/o currently.

Having said that, women's chess needs a group of young female players who can rush to the top to create some sort of sensation which can inspire many more.

[@Jaja-hx6ch]

She should be the strongest among 9 year olds because she gained a lot of elo in the last tournament, I don't know why it wasn't counted in the update. Anyway, live she is at 2138 elo, so that's way above other 9 year olds.
