I got to watch this boy play, in person, recently. He's got amazing concentration and his entire person is in the game.

Re: 11 Year Old Boy Beat GM (2645 elo) in 18 moves
I remember one tournament where I played a father/son. With Dad it was a grueling game where he finally fell into a trap. A couple of rounds later I played his 11 yr old son. The son showed up at the board and put his legs underneath him on the chair. I said to myself (he's just a little kid) .
He promptly "crushed" me.
I understimated him significantly, but do not know if I would have won even if I properly estimated his strength...probably not.
He played so effortlessly.
Watch out for the kids!

It's true in General that if you spend a large percentage of your life doing X, for example chess, you are going to be very good at it (Assuming you have some talent). Let say he started playing chess at the age of 5. Then he played chess for about half his liife already. The learning curve for such talented Kids is very very sharp at the beginning.PaulieD wrote:I remember one tournament where I played a father/son.

Talent, big talent is a large component. Sure, together with hard-working. But If you have 10 random 5-year kids hard-working, the odds are not a single random kid becomes a GM.CheckersGuy wrote:It's true in General that if you spend a large percentage of your life doing X, for example chess, you are going to be very good at it (Assuming you have some talent).

Not all 10 random kids will be motivated to continue with chess long enough to become a GM.Laskos wrote:Talent, big talent is a large component. Sure, together with hard-working.
