@@verbatim7508 He's got all the potential, he just needs to keep pushing but not too much so he doesn't burn out or start hating chess. Needs good parenting obviously.
You're going to get very good studying multiple hours a day doing anything. These prodigies use a significant amount of their youth becoming masters. Hope he actually gets to enjoy some of it!
Yes, actually Faustino is getting financial support from a group of businesspeople and the Argentine Chess Federation has hired 5 coaches for him (one to work on openings with black, one to work on openings with white, another for calculation, another for endgames, and another for general stuff, if I'm not wrong).
@@humanthenarrator his parents don't pressure him and it's still fun for him, so, for the time being, he's taking it well. We will see as he grows up how he can cope with all this
PLS remember this is a match between the second fiercest chess beast in the world against a child who, when Magnus won the world championship, was still wearing a pacifier. Get it!
that 2nd game where hikaru played the scandi actually references one of the games he played at the 2010 World Blitz Champinship where he beat GM boris savchenko with Kxe7! Its an iconic hikaru game and legendary! Cool nod to see him still use that line
I've never seen Hikaru get lost in the complications with Faustino. That is respect. Also it means in another couple years he's probably going to be 50/50 with Naka.
Well, yeah. A miss play is still a miss play. If he plays like that against real opponents at an event he could loose. Bro recognizes that. Prime example of he made that play against Magnus he would have lost
You can play really poorly overall and still get 90% accuracy tbf. A lot of small inaccuracies wont hurt your accuracy too crazy but its still poor play. You could also misplay the opening and blunder material and then play reallt well for the rest of a long game and get high accuracy that way.
He recently played in a duo with another GM and they won an online tournament, but the elo didn't exceed 2500 and it was like putting 2 foxes in a henhouse. It was crazy to see that players under 2500 had no chance of beating him. The little one is growing a lot and you can see that he has fun playing and the truth is that Hikaru is raising a monster.
It’s amazing to me how Hikaru catches the move at 05:19 to be a blunder and then immediately calculates his win like 10 steps later. Bc he’s so self deprecating and has a relatable youtuber kind of personality, it’s easy to forget he’s on the genius level with Magnus.
I'd love to see a mentor series with Hikaru and a prodigy like this kid, would be super interesting to watch, free great content and good for the student for obvious reasons.
I don't think Hikaru has become any slower, what happens is that when playing against a good level player, just 1 bad move can make you lose the game and I think that is a great achievement that Faustino has achieved at his young age.
Cool contrast Fiercely competitive temperamental type vs happy carefree kid That kid has more personality and more humor in his little finger than all chess streamers combined. If he streamed in English, he’d be a sensation
How can you pin this? Aren’t you and Levy friends? I know your opinion about him becoming GM but giving traction to some troll’s hateful comment is actually shocking to me. I thought higher of you.
Not embarassing at all, kid is really strong now Against strong players, if any GM makes a slight mistake, i can be over, so don't underestimate the players lol
I have extremely basic understanding of chess. Can someone explain why Faustino lost the first match? 05:40 He realized he couldn't win in the position he was in and so he resigned?
I’m a 700😂😂 but I thought 10:20 was a fork on the rooks but if he took nd4 to fork the rooks white had rb7 check kc8 is forced then rb8 check kc7 is mate after rb7. But nd4, rb7check,kc8,rb8check, the king can go kd7 to escape mate I would’ve went for it and ended up with equal material and a bad position
"Are you serious dude?" No, are you serious talking like that about a 10 year old, the youngest ever international master. It's not a dude, it's a very young boy in a candy store called "chess", he's just enjoying himself, he will find his path eventually and his game will mature.
