Why does it give hope? It seems to take hope away. This kid is already beating GMs when he's nine! I'm so far behind I might as well give up.
a 9year old BEATS a grand master
Sort:
It is an amazing feat and I would like to send my congratulations to Hetul Shah, the youngest person ever to beat a grandmaster in chess. It is always nice to hear when new generations are giving their best potential to society.
Awesome..
I like JRobiChess's videos.
well hey just goes two show how people take others for granite, you know any game i play i don't care if i'm playing a child or a blind man, i'm going to play with everything i got, and i think thats why this kid beat him, because he was giving it his all, where as the GM was not. i was six yrs old when i beat my frist GM who was my grandfather so their you go.. well done.

I'm sure...
And by saying your first GM.. You're implying that there were others..
Yet you have such a modest Chess.com rating.

have you seen how long i been a member?? it takes sometime to build your ratings up you know. but maybe we should lay all talk aside and play a game??? if you want, but other then i have notthing more to say. cause i didn't come here to try and prove a point, i came here to play chess.
Amazing!
Congrats kiddo you did excellently,No matter what anyone says you earned that victory fair and square.You gave everything you had and brought his ego down to reality.He had no respect for you and you had none for him.Imagination is the cornerstone for all great chess players.We adults tend to overlook such a wonderful ability.Just maybe we can look inside ourselves and find it.It couldn't hurt.
Crazy stuff. The younger you learn and stick with it, the huger the advantage you have over ever everyone else. I'm jealous.

Remarkable ... was the 9 year old tutored previously?
No, he just learned the rules of the game an hour before. He played two practice games with his little sister -- first a draw and then a win. At that point he proclaimed an understanding of the game and demanded a real challenge, hence the game with the GM.
This is so great man. Lord-loss work gives us a strength. I was think before i read this forum that is i can't beat the peoples who above my rating. But this gave me some confident on chess.
We can all win and we all loss it is how we recover from each game. And what we learn from each game,that will make us a better player. This young 9 year old kid is a very confident player just wonderful, we can learn alot from him. He has a lot of heart for the game of CHESS!
yes but look at the game objectively - the GM get himself into a cramped position for no reason, then made a patzer blunder, then followed up with weak moves -- basically, gave up psychologically.
So, this game by itself is no evidence tht the kid is anywhere near GM-class...

A master has no reason to loose this game as too many wrong moves were made on his part, he could have recovered a number of times irregardless of the position. The credit does go to the kid for showing his analytical capabilities beyond theGM's.
Many high skilled masters have played anywhere from 25 to 50 games blindfolded and won almost all of them, it is all about concentration at this level and not look at a kid that is 9 or 10 years old as this can pschychologically affect the GM, as he might think : no problem here.
Non sequitor.
We are not talking statistics.
We are talking about this particular GM in this particular game: this GM played this game below expert level.
Statistics: most people born are dead. [everyone born before 1850]. That *most* is 99.999999%. So you and I are dead????
I am not saying the kid is not at least expert-level. He is. What I am saying is - this game provides no evidence that the kid is near GM-class. Please provide annotations to show otherwise.
There is a big gulf between expert and GM...
I am not saying that this game provides evidence that the kid is not GM-class. I am saying that this game provides no evidence that the kid is GM-class. There is a big difference.
I watched this & it is unbelieveable..it give hope to us all

Can anyone see where the master could have turned it around to win
Just thought i would pass this on to everyone
