I’m a 40 year old Turkish man. Last night I was drinking with my friends and they told me about Hikaru making videos about Ediz and Yağız. We never talk about chess 😄 Thanks for this 🥰

[@hikmetfindik5191]

Hikaru again right on spot getting türk engagement in youtube.. thx for the coverage, we are really excited about the future of Turkish chess!

[@berryesseen]

It's funny that the top 2 players from Turkey are 15 and 13 years old. Both are above 2600 elo. I look forward to seeing them reach 2700...

[@yenery6022]

You are realy encouring Turkish young stars for the chess.. Thanks..

I just wanted to ask is chess haram?

[@VARMOT123]

Except india is bigger and has dozens of under 15 GMs not just 2 . There is a good chance of them medalling in one of these though if they find another super gm level talents

[@canowski]

@@VARMOT123there are 5 gms who were born after 2009 and none of them are from india. Who are these dozens of GMs if i may ask?

[@Hihihs12]

The first game was really good, ediz can find very different rotations and he surprises me every game.

[@jkofte]

Where these kids are coming from? Turkiye Is Bankasi, the leading bank of Turkey has been supporting chess since 2005. They kickstarted over 40.000 chess classes in elementary and secondary schools and supported chess clubs. They even opened chess classes in orphanages and for blind people. Since then, licensed chess players in Turkey has soared to 1.200.000+ as of 2023 from a modest 50-60k in 2005, surprassing any other sport by a huge margin. Eventhough the Bank has suportted chess on country level, they were not able to support individual efforts as much yet. We needed sponsor for guys like Ediz & Yağız and this is where Evren Üçok, a former chess player and co-founder of Turkey's first unicorn/decacorn, Trendyol came in. He gave necessary funds for further training of the boys for personel coaches and other needed sponsorships (I know he supports Yagiz, not sure about Ediz though). So I think we can praise Turkiye Is Bankasi as the gold mine and Evren Ucok as the goldsmith.

[@ayz4299]

Teşekkürler J Köfte.

[@95octavian]

Thanks Hikaru for the video and the props to those young prodigies . I also remember how you defended Yagiz when Kramnik attacked him without any reason. I really respect it thx

[@Komedi_Arsivi]

Amazing content! Thank you for making this video about two Turkish stars. Yagiz Kaan reached a rating of 2601 after the Olympiad, making him the youngest player in the world to surpass 2600 👏.

[@NormChess]

WE ARE PROUD OF THEM BOTH. THEY ARE OUR FUTURE.

[@kentakorma8423]

If Ediz would'nt have played last match of the tournament and let down his team, he would win gold, because he had tie in the last game. Simply not paying would give him gold instead of bronze (he could even be 4th). But he played for his team and Turkey won the match scoring 12th in general. Last match was 2.5-1.5, halfpoint coming from Ediz's tie.

[@muhsincanorhan]

Thanks for the video. You have many followers from Turkey and they are quite excited to see you talkong about Turkish youngsters.

[@kemalcanocak]

They are very talented, Turkish Chess Federation needs to be proactive and arrange some training with you! Learn from the best, these youngster will be an absolute beast!!!

[@Hihihs12]

It's great that Hikaru made such a video. Turkish stars are very good both online and in tournaments. I think they will compete for the world championship in the future

[@canerdem6273]

We are proud of both of them. I think they have good chance of reaching 2700 which no Turkish player has ever done before.

[@Enesdemrts]

Thanks a lot for mentioning these youngsters!! We appreciate it.

[@polielie]

Thanks Hikaru for promoting young talents! They deserve the recognition and I hope they’ll get invited to stronger tournaments.

[@omer-b6s]

wild how children can and are already gms in chess but there are adults Reading the instructions on the shampoo bottle while washing dishes

[@ssbeast101amv8]

I get what you're saying, but chess is still just a game and these are still kids. Intelligence in chess doesn't really correlate with being smart in all aspects of life.

One correction on the pronunciation: i in ediz is a short vowel. So it's not edeez.

He does it on purpose, for comedy. Like saying deez knights

@@mabel3989I don’t think that’s true dawg. I’m a casual hikaru watcher but I doubt he’d put a comedic effect on a foreign name just for laughs. I think it was an honest mistake.
