elias_vdr to be honest, I have little interest in chess and I have never played it and I don't even know the rules. If a ten-year-old child beat the world champion, that boy must have a very good brain. Many professional poker players come from a chess background and started their careers by playing chess professionally. He may also start playing poker in the future, who knows...

Posted by xpatrick: He is an Argentine master, but he defeated Magnus in a quick match lasting just 1 minute, in standard matches it is very difficult.
Indeed beating Magnus Carlsen in standard matches, would be way harder

Hello good evening, what do you think of the 10- year- old boy who beat the world champion chess master Magnus Carlsen in a quick game.
In my opinion, this boy should be very proud of himself. I know the rules of chess and I played it very often as a child, it is not an easy game, especially when you play against a good player, let alone a master. Congratulations to this boy, I hope he will continue to develop his chess skills and beat more than one champion

Indeed, a 10-year-old boy winning against the champion is quite unlikely. I have never won when playing with my father, who taught me how to play chess. Or maybe it's a premature April Fool's joke Who knows? Or a specially rigged match so that this boy could win. Well, I don't know and I'll probably never find out. However, if this is true, I wish the boy a lot of happiness.

Although Oro is still incredibly young, his potential is obvious. His level of skill at such an early age rivals and even surpasses that of most other future world champions at the same stage in their careers.

Chess is a game easy to learn the rules but so hard to learn strategies and to become a world class winner one day . You really need talent and skill . It's not like poker where luck can play a part many times . I watch some streams on twitch rarely just for fun . It's a guy , don't remember his name correctly , he is number 3 in world leadership for chess , he has over 1M followers on twitch , I like watching him just for fun rarely .
