Abhimanyu Mishra , Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa, Misha Osipov and more chess child prodigies took over the chess world at a young age, but not all of them lived up to their expectations
Some failed, and some dominated, lets talk about them!
Subscribe or i will sacrifice my rook and checkmate you :D
I think having a three-year-old play chess on TV with a former World Champion is borderline abuse.
Yeah that kid quit chess
It was not a competition .It was like playing with a old man who happened to be the FINAL BOSS of CHESS. It was a wholesome show where 3 year old boy showed off his capabilities.
@@ndnd7614I don't have any idea whether you are being sarcastic or something...
@@xe5101 im not that kid actually quit competitive chess
I don't think so, I've seen him a couple of times on the Russian chess Channel "Chess Fight Night". At the very least he's playing Blitz still.@@ndnd7614
Gukesh now won the candidates and became the youngest to do so
Misha Osipov isnt disappeared, subtitles say Karpov carved his new chess pieces from his bones
That is sickly funny in a moribund type of way.
I just saw that video a few min ago lol
Praggus sis became a GM this week. They are the first bro/sis that archieved this feat😂
You forgot to mention the most important feat..they both qualified for the 2024 candidates tournament
@British_vlogSomeone is going down cause they can't loot from India anymore.
@British_vlogI enjoy your frustration 😂
@British_vlogguy isn't even indian btw why the hell your cities are going bankrupt like Birmingham 😂😂
@@Ihate_riceyeah but different candidates. It is more impressive that she got grandmaster title I think.
Who is watching this after Gukesh winning the FIDE Candidate..
And Now 4 months later gukesh won the candidates , becoming the youngest and 2nd from India after vishy anand. Going to challange world champion.
He is probably going to win it too.
Karpov scared him straight! The 3 year old kid got PTSD that day.
Id poop my pants if I had to play Karpov. This guy held the world champion title for 10 years and is considered one of the greatest chess players ever.
Gukesh learned the game at the age of 7, so it took him 10 years to win the Candidates!
It is strange that no one ever mentions Vincent Keymer. He turned 19 just a few days ago, #14 in the world, trailing Pragg just by 2.4 Elo points and ranking before Vidit, Erigaisi, Abdussatorov and Gukesh. Plus he has beaten Carlsen lately and just failed to beat and eliminate him in the second game because he did not convert a winning position. Guess he has to be in the top five before people can't ignore him anymore.
Evil white German.
Rating is nothing it's keeps on falling and growing
@@samarthbagwe1736 Ridiculous. Elo is EVERYTHING to the players. Right now the top 15 are struggling crazily for Elo because it will decide the last spot in the candidates.
oh yes, I've been really disappointed by people always ignoring his existance
Keymer is a great player....his time at the top is coming soon
Pragg is is not a fake prodigy . He is real one. He is playing at Candidates 2024 .
india is becoming the new powehouse of chess
They are taking over!
All thanks to legendary Vishy Anand for inspiring a new generation of players
Yeah i agree
Hope we can dominate just like Soviets
Pretty easy to do if you have like 2 billion population....
Pragg is doing well and by the way what happened to this kid Magnus Carlsen who managed to draw against Kasparov at the age 13 ?
He lost to Vaishali when she was 12. What a noob.
This Carlsen kid has vanished from chess.
He was sent back to his planet
he drew Kasparov, beat Karpov....i heard he started playing poker
@@Bsweet117i thought he grew up and just became a drunk. Dr drunkenstein is what they call him on the streets
Still looking for the part 'where are these prodigies now' you only explained about world produced young chess talent
Gukesh was so talented that he became a Grandmaster without learning opening theory. After that, he was advised to learn opening theory.
Giles his still so talented.
Talent has always been there in india it's always about the opportunity. As india's economy grows it has substance for other things and supporting sports is one of them. You will notice that not many companies sponser chess but huge indian corporation are keen in spending a lot of money on the promotion of chess. After Vishy, a whole generation full of talents went on steroids like a big bang and the country just exploded with potential. In my heart, Vishy maight not be the best chess player but he's the greatest. I mean, which WCC could inspire an entire country of 1.4B and nurture a wave of talents? From zero GM's to now becoming a powerhouse. What an inspiration.
Ossipov was never chess prodigy, just a cute child who learned chess moves very early and was hyped in Russian TV. Mishra is doing OK, won US junior Championsips and had 4th place in adult Championships after Caruana, So and Dominguez. Pragg is a real deal.He is already no.13 in the world and top 10 is not so far.
That is what I thought.. that kid was no prodigy ;)
A grandmaster rated 2600 would be lucky to make $20,000 a year playing chess tournament winnings.
Ossipov never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Mishra is only 14 dude he is doing amazingly for hiss he breaking 2600
Mishra is doing okay for his age and pragg already in candidates.
This video aged like a fine wine, after gukesh wining the candidates and becoming the youngest player to do soo
"Misha had a peak fide rating of 1173" me who has a fide rating of 1109:
Literally ever top chess players was a prodigy.
the day when Gukesh, Prag, Abhimanyu, Arjun will compete against one another.... when gukesh is already te youngest chess champion.. hold your horses gukesh Abhimanyu is coming for you...
Rooting on Gukesh
@@rookmoves me too,, but the form of young gm is fantabulous
I was expecting to see Lu Miaoyi here. Great video!
when the poker part of jeff's intro segment was being narrated, i was expecting a curveball and that magnus would just be mentioned lmao
Weird that you mention the movie "Searching For Bobby Fischer" but didn't feature the subject of that film Josh Waitzkin, who is probably the most famous young chess prodigy who left the game
That's what I was waiting for.
Because he erroneously attributed the movie to being about a different player, when the movie was based on a book written by Josh’s dad. The guy who made the video didn’t do his homework
Correction needed for sure
10:23 I think the film '"Searching for Bobby Fischer" was based on Josh Waitzin another prodigy, rather than Sarwer as mentioned in the video
yeah he is josh
My son is now the youngest GM, and I didn't even met his mom yet
Gukesh is now the WC challenger.
As of yesterday, Ghukesh is challenging for the world chess championship
Yes, I saw, that is crazy, how do you think he will do?
My teacher used to say that genius is about 10% talent and 90% perseverance.
Without talent, no amount of perseverance will give you genius status
Your teacher said it so must be true right?
Looking for bobby ficher is not based on the guy you presented, but on a chess player with a similar story names Joshua waitzkin
Hey! Can someone tell me what the background music during when he’s describing prag is called? Please and thank you!
Abhimanyu's stare 🫣
This is incomplete without firoujza and abdustarrov nodirbek
4:14 He definitely didn't just "understand the basics". I have played over a thousand chess games and over a thousand puzzels and as as a three year old he was already orders of magnitude stronger than me.
ability check?
Mentally disabled?
@@allnewjient7651no. It's totally normal to be at that level.
Searching for Bobby Fischer was based on Josh Waitzkin, a fascinating dude with interesting takes on learning among other things. Not on Sarwer, although a game Sarwer played against Waitzkin inspired the game at the end of the movie.
A tournament game drawn against him by, Joshua Waitzkin, was the inspiration for the climax in the film Searching for Bobby Fischer.
Gokesh won Fide candidates finals.... And he is second after vishu sir for playing word Champaign ship
Prag is literally the future WCC
Nice video! Where are you from btw?
Thank you! Im from Lebanon
Thanks for this posting John Barnett ❤California Love Notes to All of you ❤ revisited December 2034
Thie is so underated video omg-
Thank you!
9:00 when you said poker I wondered if you are gonna talk about Magnus 😅
On one hand, I think to myself "eh, Chess can't be that hard if 7 year olds can be good at it." On the other hand, I'll never know because as much as I enjoy the game on a very casual level there's no way I could ever dedicate 8 to 10 hours a day studying it. Well either way, good view, I always wondered what ever happened to that kid who played Karpov since seeing that video all those years ago.
You're right, it isn't hard provided you have time and dedication, which is easier for younger people
easy to learn hard to master
Nothing happened to him I guess. Misha Ossipov was never a chess prodigy. He was a cute child who was taught the basics of chess amd russian media hyped him up.
Pragg, Gukesh ❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳
Indians are also the same people who went rabid on chat and insulted everyone who likes magnus just because magnus is winning against pragg
Go India!
Kinda sad that Vincent Keymer usually is ignored in videos like these...
And Awonder Liang, as well.
@@AlbertTheGamer-gk7snLiang and Keymer are not in the same category, not even close. Keymer is 100 elo points higher and a supergm. Liang is an average young gm.
@@yusouph2002 Well, Liang and Keymer were increasing around the same rate, but Liang plateaued, and Keymer kept on increasing.
Mishra ❤
Jeff was the son of Bob Ross 😮 10:08
Note to self if I ever have a child that is a chess prodigy, and has a natural love for self directed learning about the game. I will make sure to start watching poker tournaments, and strategy videos with them every night for family bonding time. I think the key is to make subtle jabs about how chess is a fun hobby, but poker is way more complicated because of the statistical chance involved and so only the the coolest and best gamers do poker.
Searching for Bobby Fischer is about Joshua Waitzkin, not about Sarwer
Statistics show that osipov playes a OTB tournament in Moscow in 2023!
I met and took lessons for a short while, a very long time ago, with Edmar Mednis when he was at the Marshall Chess Club in Greenwich Village. I remember him telling me that it was very difficult to make a living at just chess, even as a grandmaster. I was very surprised at the time. I can only imagine it being so much harder these days. It seems that in most areas of human accomplishment like chess:: musical instruments, golf, fencing...etc... there is little place for the talented amature renaissance person. You need to have a single minded focus and desire almost from the womb.
That’s so true. It’s like the top .5% of all of the people that actually play it, get paid and make it in a sport.
I'm 32 qnd only plays chess casually on my phone. But knowing that 3 year old could possibly crush me makes me want to uninstall.
throw your ego down the drain and just enjoy the game.
Uhh.. Micha didn't disappear. You can check his fide and he clearly played in tournaments during 2023. There are game records from january, february, may and august. It is true that there were no fide games played between april 2020 and January 2023 but whatever source you used - please stop using it or at least double check the "facts". If some site claimed that he was gone then you used outdated information which isn't good look either.
Mishra look badass and intimating af 😂😂
😂😂😂
because people who improve too fast burn out
There are many undiscovered prodigy in india
i cant imagine a 3 year old would beat me at chess that is inconceivable to me but that 3 year old has 1134 rating while my elo is 834
Your bookmark is showing pranav Anand instead of Pragg ananda
Moral of the story: Don't go on TV if you want to be successful
I'm on my way to success 😂
I don't want to be good at chess, I started playing at 8, then stopped playing for 6 years and started playing again because chess was gaining popularity, however I reached 2300+ elo at 17, that's a nice achievement for me, I quit now because I'm not one of those people who would study chess 8-10 hours to be an extremely good player.... Being a good chess player only tells you're good at chess
earned my respect...i did same bu rating only reached 1600,and its stuck there like i reach 1700 the drop don to 1500 and again go back to 1600..lol...well i didnt learn any openings or something
@@shrikrishnasingh1106 thanks for understanding the situation, that's ridiculously good for a player who spend less time on it but reached 1700, once I start to lose I try to win and then get a losing streak and it makes the day bad, it's like gambling and losing a lot of money I quit for several reasons as well
A decent electrical engineer will make way more money than a grandmaster in chess
what happened to this ratio?
So many Indian chess players.
5:27 He won "Under-8" title at just 7 years old? Is that supposed to be surprising?
ad blocker got blocked shit
one of the 3 kids in the thumbnail died in a chess match on national Tv
which one?? I didnt know about this
looking at that face 1:25 he was either going to be a chess master or serial killer. hehe
Lolol 😂
Pragg is playing this year's candidates
I mean, he’s 10… Where were all of us when we were 10? I’d say let him have a childhood before trying to make his history one of failure.
You forgot about nihal sarin
Holy shit, is that eric hansen getting disrespected by a kid at the beginning
Where is Alice Lee? Where is Judit Polgar? No prodigies girls aloud?
My favourite game forever is TIC TAC TOE ....no tension 😂😂
I love Pragg❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
1:39 king and queen on wrong squares
At this moment Misha Osipov is sitting in a burning tank in Odessa.
"winning the under eight chess championship at just 7" Like how would he win that any older.
WAIT WAIT WAIT, You're telling me Gukesh won the CANDIDATES after only playing chess for 10 years!?! WTF
Misha looks like miniature Tom Felton
In "chapter name" you wrote "Pranav anand" (another amazing player from India) instead of Praggnanandhaa.
That's youtube's automatic chaptering not me 😂
Ain’t nobody and I mean nobody better than Bobby Fischer.
Really magnus is better than fisher
Pragg and vaishali deadly siblings 😂
How come I never heard of pragananda??? He beat carlsen twice for goodness sake😂😂😮
Go bro , make Sweden proud !
update GUKESH is now a Chess Champion
I am sorry but whats with the white paint on Prags forehead ?
It's called tika it's for good luck 😅😅 abhimanyu mishra whose roots are in india also had red tika on his forehead
@@user-zk5md7gm9k oh thank you. 👍
It is sandalwood paste, cools forehead and also good scent. You will see many Hindus applying this for religious reasons
@@user-zk5md7gm9k thanks.
@@user-zk5md7gm9k thanks.
Normal. Otherwise, we'd be seeing the top students in schools rising to the top in every company.
Whenever I see that three year old from Russia I just think of the final boss of chess meme 😂😂
Dont exploit them. Make them grow off the public lights otherwise you might deprive humankind of their future work. It applies on so many instances, not only chess. You have to protect that something special
bruh his name is pragnnanda
I am partly like Jeff Sawrer. Like him, I also never achieved the title of grandmaster.
Searching for Bobby Fischer was based on Josh Waitzkin, not Jeff Sarwer.
Pragg isn't that young...
No one : Hikaru :praggnanandhaahahahaha
Abhimanyu looks at you like he would eat you alive.
People develop other interests in life.
Gukesh❤
I thought Misha bones got carved into pawns by mighty Karpov
I have 1900 elo and i am 8 years old
Play otb tournaments, online elo is not a good way to show that you are a chess prodigy
Remember to take it slowly in classical chess. I always crush 8-10 year olds just because they play too fast and blunder.
Online doesn’t matter lol😂😂😂
@@thatbostic2liar
@@AnnaStudioA i disagree, being able to train chess with the click of a mouse is spectacular in my opinion. Grandmasters that are dead by now could only dream about it
I'm 45 years old and barely 1250 Elo in online chess. I was happy. Now I'm depressed😢
Trust me brother YOU ARE GREAT! Whenever you think like the way you're thinking now just remember the fact that even you would've done great had you started playing from an early age. Chess favours early movers and despite being 45 years of age (and considering you started playing very late) 1250 ELO is impressive! See you love the game and that's what matters! Cheers!
@@mg9854 Thank you sir, for such uplifting words! Yes I started playing after I hit 40, so probably not as bad as I think. Besides I play only for joy and not really care about ratings, so keep experimenting. Thanks again for such nice words 🙏☺️.
You're in the top 80% and would be able to enter a real FIDE tournament. My highest was 808 bullet, then I dropped back to 670. I play only bullet because i cant focus on longer gamesm
Nobody knows why Mishra always mad?
