What Happened To Famous Child Chess Prodigies 

I think having a three-year-old play chess on TV with a former World Champion is borderline abuse.

Misha Osipov isnt disappeared, subtitles say Karpov carved his new chess pieces from his bones

Praggus sis became a GM this week. They are the first bro/sis that archieved this feat😂

Gukesh now won the candidates and became the youngest to do so

And Now 4 months later gukesh won the candidates , becoming the youngest and 2nd from India after vishy anand. Going to challange world champion.

Who is watching this after Gukesh winning the FIDE Candidate..

Karpov scared him straight! The 3 year old kid got PTSD that day.

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.

Pragg is is not a fake prodigy . He is real one. He is playing at Candidates 2024 .

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.

Gukesh learned the game at the age of 7, so it took him 10 years to win the Candidates!

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 ?

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.

"Misha had a peak fide rating of 1173" me who has a fide rating of 1109:

india is becoming the new powehouse of chess

Literally ever top chess players was a prodigy.

Gukesh was so talented that he became a Grandmaster without learning opening theory. After that, he was advised to learn opening theory.

Still looking for the part 'where are these prodigies now' you only explained about world produced young chess talent

This video aged like a fine wine, after gukesh wining the candidates and becoming the youngest player to do soo

Gukesh is now the WC challenger.

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

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

As of yesterday, Ghukesh is challenging for the world chess championship

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

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.

Abhimanyu's stare 🫣

Prag is literally the future WCC

This is incomplete without firoujza and abdustarrov nodirbek

Pragg, Gukesh ❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳

My son is now the youngest GM, and I didn't even met his mom yet

My teacher used to say that genius is about 10% talent and 90% perseverance.

Kinda sad that Vincent Keymer usually is ignored in videos like these...

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.

9:00 when you said poker I wondered if you are gonna talk about Magnus 😅

Looking for bobby ficher is not based on the guy you presented, but on a chess player with a similar story names Joshua waitzkin

Watching after Gukesh won Candidates

Thie is so underated video omg-

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.

Mishra ❤

Hey! Can someone tell me what the background music during when he’s describing prag is called? Please and thank you!

Thanks for this posting John Barnett ❤California Love Notes to All of you ❤ revisited December 2034

Gokesh won Fide candidates finals.... And he is second after vishu sir for playing word Champaign ship

Moral of the story: Don't go on TV if you want to be successful

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.

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.

There are many undiscovered prodigy in india

looking at that face 1:25 he was either going to be a chess master or serial killer. hehe

Searching for Bobby Fischer is about Joshua Waitzkin, not about Sarwer

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.

Mishra look badass and intimating af 😂😂

because people who improve too fast burn out

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...

I'm not that into chess but remember asking about the kid who played Karpov on a different video and some guy linked me his stats that were... NORMAL. Very normal. I was impressed by how he solved the puzzles on the show as a kid so was very surprised. Guess he didn't stick with it eh?

Nice video! Where are you from btw?

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

Statistics show that osipov playes a OTB tournament in Moscow in 2023!

A decent electrical engineer will make way more money than a grandmaster in chess

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.

I have 1900 elo and i am 8 years old

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

So many Indian chess players.

Pragg is playing this year's candidates

1:39 king and queen on wrong squares

I love Pragg❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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.

You forgot about nihal sarin

My favourite game forever is TIC TAC TOE ....no tension 😂😂

what happened to this ratio?

Ain’t nobody and I mean nobody better than Bobby Fischer.

Your bookmark is showing pranav Anand instead of Pragg ananda

Go bro , make Sweden proud !

one of the 3 kids in the thumbnail died in a chess match on national Tv

5:27 He won "Under-8" title at just 7 years old? Is that supposed to be surprising?

Pragg and vaishali deadly siblings 😂

Holy shit, is that eric hansen getting disrespected by a kid at the beginning

"winning the under eight chess championship at just 7" Like how would he win that any older.

Misha looks like miniature Tom Felton

For me the problem with chess is it's implications.. For example, if you are a great football player or athlete, then doing that profession will allow you to earn the maximum for the amount of time you invest.. This is not the same for chess players, most pro chess players have amazing mental prowess, where If it was developed properly and used in proper industries, would make much more sense than wasting your time playing for few bucks.. Chess is not a high earning sport, but to be great at it, takes alot to time and investment. Which is not really worth it for a good chess player, cause chances are, they would make better returns on their investment by doing something else

ad blocker got blocked shit

At this moment Misha Osipov is sitting in a burning tank in Odessa.

Where is Alice Lee? Where is Judit Polgar? No prodigies girls aloud?

Gukesh❤

How come I never heard of pragananda??? He beat carlsen twice for goodness sake😂😂😮

its Praggnanandha , not pranav Anand.

People develop other interests in life.

Whenever I see that three year old from Russia I just think of the final boss of chess meme 😂😂

update GUKESH is now a Chess Champion

Normal. Otherwise, we'd be seeing the top students in schools rising to the top in every company.

Pragg❤❤❤❤

I am partly like Jeff Sawrer. Like him, I also never achieved the title of grandmaster.

No one : Hikaru :praggnanandhaahahahaha

In "chapter name" you wrote "Pranav anand" (another amazing player from India) instead of Praggnanandhaa.

bruh his name is pragnnanda

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

Pragg isn't that young...

I'm 45 years old and barely 1250 Elo in online chess. I was happy. Now I'm depressed😢

🎉

Nobody knows why Mishra always mad?
