This 11 Year Old Chess Prodigy Just Dispatched Hikaru For Fun

[@donrane]

This kid could wreck weaker GM´s but choose to play Hikaru on the reg. His gonna be fun to watch in the coming years.

[@matthewsalmon8194]

3min blitz is so hard..you literally have no time to calculate..These moves in a 10min recap look at bit below the super grandmaster level but they are played so quickly.. Its absolutely stunning that an 11yr old can play like this in 3min time control. At that age I basically knew how the pieces moved and could just about put a game together against my Dad

[@UAPch]

Hikaru’s one of the fastest calculators in the world, but maybe not the fastest anymore 🤔

7:51 there is footage of Hikaru outside his home beating himself up after the match for not taking the draw, it was pretty violent and vicious.

[@YoutubeDictatorship2024]

It’s baffling to me that a mind this sharp will be used to play a game and not used to help humanity evolve

[@carlcox7976]

Hikaru is a regular customer. 😂 😂😂 Faustino got his number 😂😂😂

Interesting times with the youngest and oldest cheese players defeating the top of the pops playas; Glad-in-mirror Graham-nick (lovingly called “Kramya”) over Magnum Carlsbad, and now Faust-kino Oreo over Heck-are-you Neck-&-more-ya. Only one isn’t a super Grandma YET, being closer to diapers in the backwards direction of time.

I think Faustino is going to really smoke through some people when he becomes a GM. How long does it take to reach GM from IM? 2 years? This Mishra guy was GM at age 12 so my net search tells me.

Most of these child prodigies end up being "mediocre" players. Also, blitz and classical chess might as well be two different games.

​@@kamshik 2600+ is mediocre? Wow mister 2800 calm down

[@TruthSurge]

@@kamshik Gukesh D. was a child prodigy if you consider making GM by age 12. Now look at him. :) There was another child prodigy that is world-famous. You might have heard of him. Bobby Fischer? GM by age 15 and youngest GM ever at that time. I'm sure some prodigy types don't continue with chess. That poor Russian boy they made play against Karpov and he lost and started crying.... he was very good (at like 3 years old) but I think he quit chess. You can't force kids like that. Encourage, okay. Make a 3 yr old play vs Karpov? in front of an audience? nope. Faustino is like 11 now? He's an IM. He's REALLY good at the speed chess. I'm sure he would be good given longer time to consider his moves and another 5 years to reach age 16. Gukesh WCC at age 18. WOOOOOT!

[@USEER-bxleo]

7:50 Hikaru later apologized to his fans on Twitter for playing Bf1, revealing that his Pogo Stick had been broken for several days. He admitted to neglecting its repair, which left him a bit rusty and unable to Pogo more than twice. Broken Pogo Stick or lack of practicing thereof is a matter that super GMs do not take lightly.

What a beautiful match on an amazing Saturday night, or should I say TWO matches, as I went to the link given at the end! Another awesome match indeed! Being a parent, if I get beaten by a 10 y/o kid, it'd make me smile with pride as if my own son'd done it. Unless it's kid #2 on the youngest masters list at the beginning, he'd probably try to also stab me with a rook, not sure why I got that impression, must be the "I need an exorcism" look he has on his face - haha! Thanks once again for the great vid James!
