he is still playing, he is around 1000-1200 elo and played in january, february and may this year, he isn't winning all the games but still pretty impressive (he plays mostly standard but also bits of rapid and blitz, over 150 ranked games already in these modes, with whites winning over 50% of games but with blacks losing nearly 50%, ties take about 15% no matter if he is black or white)

My son was an excellent chess player at 3. He was also fluent in three languages and could read and write. He grew up to be normal, intelligent but not Uber nerdy. We moved to Australia when he was 7 and he lost the ability to speak German and Dutch. He lost interest in chess and would likely fail to reach a 1000 rating. Kids are amazing in their first years. Like sponges for learning whatever they set their attention to. Some parents push their kids to excel, but I think it’s better if they do things only as long as they enjoy doing them.

[@MasterHigure]

If you watch the clip, I want you to pay attention to how well Karpov and the host treat the kid, who is obviously under some massive pressure in a completely foreign situation. Again, there is the question of whether he belonged there in the first place. But apart from that, once he was on stage, the draw offer, the ushering the kid to his mom when he's crying, the pick-me-up of the puzzles after. It was good.

[@TwistedSoul2002]

The medal as well- he left feeling like a winner and Levy is right- it’s so difficult to nurture young talent without completely killing the interest. It’s like starting a fire from a hot ember; too much fuel and you smother it, too much air and it burns itself out…

I checked out FIDE, the guy was born in 2013, this year he played 7 rapid games in January and improved his rating from 1145 to 1191, and in February he played 12 classical games and improved from 1044 to 1173. Would be interesting to see Levy analyze one of his latest games:)

The kid is undoubtedly exceptional! The first puzzle was actually fairly simple, and I saw the solution at the first glance. The second puzzle was more challenging and quite interesting, but it was still solvable, as there was nothing else to do if the back-rank mate was to be avoided. But the third puzzle-oh, my God! I failed to recognize the solution to that problem because, contrary to conventional wisdom that having only a king + a knight or a bishop is not enough to mate the opponent's king, I had not even considered the idea that one of the two figures should have to be sacrificed.

[@36AccountsBlockedRIP]

This is Russian TV so I'd be skeptical. The kid must have seen something similar to the third puzzle before and had an idea what to do. It's pretty incredulous for a three-year-old to solve that one out of the blue in front of an audience with limited time, especially considering that this kid is now about 10 and 1173 rated. If he had done that third puzzle out of the blue at that age, surely he'd be 2000 by now without even trying hard.

I was so proud of myself for figuring out all the 3 puzzles on my own and then realized a 3 year old was able to do it....

We finally got a potentially strong opponent for stockfish.

I am 15, feeling myself that I won a chess tournament with 8 and now I feel like the biggest noob and looking at this video trying to learn something from your video instead of learning for my test tomorrow… I love you Levy! For real! Keep it up I guess we all need this small inspiration for noticing how bad we really are.

[@tomfinney3416]

get back to your study my friend chess will never leave you but tomorrow you are tested over something else you can shine in

[@thedebatemaster]

as a retired 5 yr old super grand ultra chess master (has beaten stockfish 680 times in a row) and i can confirm this 3 year old is very unskilled

[@epicchilli-fd3cx]

Fun Fact: I also learned Chess with 3 (true I Swear) But I only knew how the pieces move.

[@AirtimeAdrenaline]

Thats seems... barely believeable...

[@raghvendrasinghsengar8360]

Same here true be true, and when I was 4, I defeated all of my family members, relatives, etc. Except, my maternal grandfather ofcourse, who was nicknamed Vishwanathan (anand) in city. I lost my passion for chess after. I back now, 8 months in, I am 1700 online

[@raghvendrasinghsengar8360]

​@@AirtimeAdrenaline not it is completely possible

[@xerowolf4242]

I learned at 4. But had my dad thought to try and teach me at 3 I'm pretty sure I would have been able to. I think it just didn't cross his mind as a possibility until he just happened to have a friend over and pulled out a chess board to play his friend and then saw I was interested in the game.
