The top Argentine players struggle to even enter the top 100, yet Faustino is on the road to becoming the best national player ever if he keeps this rhythm. We are really excited here in Argentina. Thank you for the analysis, Jerry.
Hard to know where he will go from here, but he's got a shot of being a super GM and being in the candidates tournament at this trajectory. Phenomenal ... world champions can come from anywhere!
Indeed this game was very good. Faustino choose Tc8+ but better (for the module point of view) wsa De4. Anyway to take in c5 was indeed very courageous.
I didn't find chess until I was 31. I'm a solid player at age 44, but I always think how much different my life would be if I had been introduced to chess as a young child. I'm not saying that I would break records or even be a master. So, I guess you could say that I'm envious of children that get encouraged by their parents to play chess or pursue playing musical instruments.
Many of these kids have extremely harsh and overbearing parents who force them to play and succeed. I know many master level players who were prodigies as kids and never played a single game after high school as they never liked it.
I totally concur. In fact, when I learned to play 50 years ago there were not many opportunities to review quality games or just play. There might be 1 game in the Sunday newspaper. Once a month or so a club about 45 minutes away would meet… and was filled with very old men playing slow games with no clocks. Not for good for a new player. Young kids the days are living in a golden age of chess playing & learning. They can play online & learn & practice against WC strength chess engines. They can watch & learn from RU-vid videos & TikTok videos & other platforms too. If their parents give them even a modest amount of encouragement they can learn from Chessable courses. On the other hand, it gets harder to stand out from the other youngsters because so many are plugged into this info & learning chess while their minds are young & malleable & developing great instincts by playing online & check results with strong engines. If they have a GM helping them.. (I suppose Oro does) then their learning is much more focused & improves exponentially faster. The new generation of titles players are going to be incredibly strong.
@@Steve-eb8jc Well, it is not the case, because Faustino loved soccer, and in the lockdown his mother was tired of Faustino kicking the ball inside the house, so in April 2020 asked to his husband to try with the chess, and this was the beginning...
@@Yetia Wasn't talking about Faustino specifically. And yes, I'm sure his first ever chess game was four years ago, and that his parents didn't send him to three hour coaching sessions with grandmasters every day after kindergarten, and that he was arranging his own travel across the world for norm tournaments, etc.
your positional explanations are some of the best on youtube. been watching you for ten years now and I went from 700 USCF to 1800 USCF with the help of your videos
Definitely heading for one of the youngest GMs of all time, if not the youngest GM ever. Probably also a 2700 rated player one day. I hope he gets to play some strong players to prove himself.
Development of the mind can be achieved only when the body has been disciplined. - Master Kan. Oro seems to be well disciplined. Well covered Master Jerry! Loved your coverage of that game.
Brilliant game by the brilliant boy ❤. Analysis is always based on moves played here the boy's brilliance is reflected in the analysis as well.Thanks Sir.
He played soccer, due to the confinement of the pandemic, his parents, seeing that he would break everything in the house with the ball, gave him a chess set.
@@ericromanenghi6346es buenísimo explicando, no soy bueno en inglés, pero con las flechas no se perdió ninguna interesante, quizás Dg2 que fue una movida defensiva interesante para mi punto de vista! Excelente canal de ajedrez por lo visto
Really nice game and preparation! Faustino knows that Alex played Benoni, so Tc1 is in preparation. e4 I guess not, but the knowledge of the position, but Rxc5 and the following was excellent. Even in the final Rc7! was nice. I would go at once with Dh6.
Jerry, are you kind of sick? I heard something different in your voice, like a flu or something. Hope that you're doing well and was just tired or sleepy when you recorded this (or even better, that nothing is different and my cheap earbuds tricked my ears)
h3 on move 8 is also to prevent black from trading its light square bishop. Black is cramped like the in the french defense and trading that bishop can make things simpler for them.
Congrats to Oro, but I read some article about Mishra and the politics and behind the scenes stuff associated with getting the "youngest" X titles. the parents even bribe and pay off IM or GM to get the final win etc. since why wouldn't some old has been IM or GM take 5 or 10k just to draw or lose a game. The parents know it's worth much more than 5-10k to become the "youngest X" player since the will get attention, sponsorships and invitations that they would never get if they didn't have that title. So while it's good to see young kids getting stronger and improving on what the previous generations accomplished, a lot of the time there is politics and behind the scenes or under the table trickery going on, and with the parents also doing a lot of the work. I don't like when parents push young kids to train or play hardcore, unless the kid really enjoys it. But it's hard to know the truth and just where to draw the line in terms of the kids enjoyment and free choice and where it turns into the kid being forced by the parents into playing for money for the family etc.
there was an interview recently where his parents said it would have been better for them if he had not played this tournament since they were worried about his mental health but the kid insisted. they also said they never encouraged him to pursue this record, which you can witness if you watch a recent video of him signing the draw that awarded him the record. he didn't event celebrate, as if he didn't care. his dad was also there and he also didn't celebrate. also you have the commentary of some gms that played against him and they all say his understanding of the game is amazing after talking to him post-match. so I doubt this kid is living the same situation as the others.
Puede ser. Bobby aprendió prácticamente solo. Pero Oro tiene un talento innato. Uno de sus profesores dijo que a los 7 años sabia dar ya mate de alfil y caballo, unos de los mates más difíciles de dar, aún para jugadores veteranos.
lol, go be as good as Carlsen then.. it is not that simple, and I didn;t like that mix of stubborn/hate with that "greatest ever was Fischer not Oro" lol, like no one is saying Oro is the greatest ever... he is just a kid starting his career man,..
@@GordoCantaPosta I don't care what you think. Bobby Fischer was the greatest. The " youngest international master ever" gives it a sense of an achievement that can put the best into a shadow of an eclipse. I don't think so. And I do not need a seconder to my opinion.
@@TheAtheist22 wtf? you are so agressive man.. "the greatest IM ever" is just the record he has broken and there were many persons who broke that record, you are just mad with Fausti for some reason.. h8 gonn h8
Hi Jerry, amazing as always. Honestly whatr do u think about this golden boy? Has he that spark to fight the goat podium among the magnificient Magnus or should we rank him below?
Any answer to that question would be a complete shot in the dark. I have heard many a GM said that it's almost certain he is going to be a GM himself, but landing the arrow in the vast 2500-2800 Elo mark across the next 10 years of this boy's development would be just plain luck. In any case, chess staticians would be the ones more qualified to give an answer, and not players, I believe
As Santiago said, the future is unknown. I remember looking at Wei-Yi games in the past... Anyway, the hunger and passion that Faustino has for the game, i am almost sure that he get 2700 before 18th. Better than Magnus, I doubt it, but who knows
