Youngest Player Ever To Defeat a GRANDMASTER! || 8 Years, 6 Months and 11 Days! 

Beats a grandmaster and gets an Agadmator video as well. Congratulations and continued success to the young chess master!

Kudos to Agad's continuous efforts to pronounce players' names as they would be in their native tongues.

50 years from now, youngest grand master at age of 3 days and 2 hours

Years ago my team of 4 (sub-1200) entered an adult tournament in which one elementary school team competed, just for the experience, planning 💯% on losing every game. I’m board 4 because I’m weak. Luckily I win quickly, as do our 1 & 2. My friend on board 3-truly the smartest person I’ve ever met IRL-blundered a piece mid game just from the pressure of sitting across from a 2nd grader. As other games ended players walked by and tsk tsked, and my friends anxiety skyrocketed. People were staring. He went down material again & at some point it was too humiliating. Little guy screams “You RESIGN?!!?” (They never do in low level school chess, anyone can slip.) Kid runs off celebrating, his little team in total joy for their only win of the tournament, and my poor friend got “oh, you’re THAT guy” commiserations the rest of the weekend. Playing 8-year-olds. Your mind can just fail. I feel for the GM.

The chess scene in Singapore is still rather small so it's really nice to see this young chess master put us on the map. What a solid game he played too.

Doesnt matter he is "pretty low" rates grandmaster, 2350 nevertheless. And he is below 1900 and very young. I would say a pretty great performance deserving some respect

Wow didn't expect you to review this game. Hoorays to Singapore!

At 8 and a half I didn't even knew how to spell "Grandmaster"

A very nice game. It's always scary playing juniors as you know they are playing way above their rating. But when I was playing competitively, in the 1960s and 70s teenagers were considered 'young' in chess terms. How times have changed. Great video as always.

Great channel, thank you for the brilliant analysis of these games. This particular one resounded because I was always considered a chess star when I was a boy. I played board 1 for my school from the age of 11. The problem was I just wasn't interested in learning chess theory, really didn't get any better, and gave up when I started losing in competition when I was 17. What I really want to say is that the analysis of the games you post is brilliant and it really is bringing back my interest in playing chess again. Thank you.

I like this guys type of analysis. He doesn't go too far a field on other moves that might have been done. I can understand it and he makes it simple.

10 years from now “6 year old becomes world champion”

Man these kids are incredible 🙂 bravo 👏😊

At 5:52, in case you are wondering why not Nf3 with a monster fork, because you forgot about our good friend the Rook on a3

After Hans controversy. Whenever Agad says "he played the top move recommended by the engine" - just hits different 🙂

Been catching up with some older series.. Fisher's streak etc. #Bring back photo challenges ❤

@agadmator You should show the match from the previous record holder from a few days ago since he too did an amazing job. Would be nice to see that match too. #suggestion

Incredible stuff ❤

Thank you! Great analysis!

Nice job kid!!

These Indians are upto something!

Such solid play, giving the exchange back was such an advanced flex, this kid is going places. Great game

I always plays this line with black, never known it's name. Now I know it's philidor defence.

Ouch!

All the best to you bro

#suggestion are you going to show the other game you mentioned, the one which broke the record before Mr. Kaushik broke it again?

Good job boy and more power

Dang, good game to you, young sir!

6.58 black c knight takes double attacked a pawn. b2..(forks knight and queen) eKnight f3 forks king, rook, and queen. After queen trade, black can up 2 pawns. Why this line not played? Please explain.

Impressive. But in this day and age, not surprising. Grandmaster Samuel Reshevsky was defeating expert players at the age of 8 in simuls - and that was in 1920 over 100 years ago!

What happened to the 100 point rating drop limit after you reached 2500?

Best youtube chess channel in the world

For the first time i heard agad pronouncing in weird way😂 . That name is Indian

Tell us the truth, at the age of 8 you knew already everything about the Evan's gambit!

This is what we in the biz call "Eight and a half." (Which is often the answer to: "How many are you?")

Impressive, very nice... let's release Karpov.

I saw it a few days ago.

These Open Tournaments are the most dangerous one!

YOUNGSTERS ARE BETTER AND BETTER

Beginners come in all ages not just children

Didn’t you put up a video a while back of misha osipov beating yuri averbak when he was 4 years old?

Die gruseligsten Menschen sind, die mit 1800 Rang haben :D

Wow

How in the world does an 8 year old play at this level. Mighty impressive.

Resigning is crazy 😂

aren't most 2351 rated players, even 2450's International Masters?

Gm: I cant draw 8 years old😢 Some moves later :he is youngest player ever won a gm🤦‍♂️

What a disgusting blunder it was, he must have been kicking himself after the game.

Funfact: Stopa means foot in polish so he is literaly Jack Foot

The only Grandmaster ever to lose to an 8 years, 6 month old player.

Beating a 2350 is a fine result for this lad. He has real promise. But this is also testimony to just how badly FIDE has cheapened the GM title. 2350? Really?

I'm just a random on chess, but black didnt play for a win, what is expected if you arent fighting for some candidates slot

Indians breaking records !

White had to get pawn h4 in there somehow, but did not.

Imagine the humiliation

Great video! (I haven’t seen it yet but I know it)

He is 3 minutes younger than the previous youngest ever to do it

Good to share the Name 😅

2351 is pretty low for a GM. I think they need a minimum of 2500 to be awarded the title

Take his GM title for missing this move K*g4

Move 29-knight b3 is winning for black.

strip the GM Of his title !!!! jokes good stuff little guy

🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳

Title should be GM or whatever😂

Ng5 kind of funny the GM missed it when a knight is that close to your king it’s a must to study all the possible continuations forks etc it hadn’t even crossed my mind the knight move winning the rook I also looked at it as if the other knight would capture back young man is incredible I can envision a very young person like himself falling in love with Chess and becoming so good at the game I just wonder how much theory openings etc does this young boy know at only 8 years old he probably has some astute awareness of the game becoming so good at such a young age

these comments make me chuckle. It is impossible to get any good at chess without losing to people 1/2 or 1/3 your age

poor jacek haha

when i was 8 years old, we were being taught how to spell simple words lol...

Crazy kids 🤣

sure he may be a better chess player than me, but i dont feel bad about it because my liver is much better at processing chemical drugs 😜

I thought it was 4 years old!?

With a rating of 2351, this grandmaster was low hanging fruit.

Very impressive game by this young guy. By a twist of fate I am trying to establish a new kind of chess game and I couldn´t have asked for a better timing to present it in the light of this new comer´s entrance on the internet. The game is called "Double draw" and the simple point of it is to eliminate blacks disadvantage of being a step behind all the time. The rules is as follows : White starts as usual with one draw then black makes two consecutive draws followed with two draws for white and so it continues throughout the game. You are only allowed to check on your SECOND draw and you have to use two DIFFERENT pieces for the double draw unless of course you´re only left with the king. I tried this just recently in a IRL game so I don´t really know if there are any illogicality that might occur due to the rules in more complicated positions. Please try with your friends and let me know what you think ; but you have to play IRL games as you can´t find this on internet. Yet!

I wonder how many elo points he lost

Rated 2351 and a grandmaster??? How???

You have 8 year olds and you have "8 years olds"........that chess monster is "an 8 years old", don't confuse it with an 8 year old!

I'm under the impression a classification of GM starts a 2500. I searched a couple of sites and found that to be the case.

2nd: In a parallel universe where 9LX is standard chess: 1 - People are praising Wesley So, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Bobby Fischer & Anatoly Karpov. Agadmator & Levy are talking about Wesley & Nepo all day long. 2 - Switch Bobby & Garry dates of birth. (Bobby's last name here is probably Nemenyi.) Meanwhile Garry Kasparov invented something strange called 'chess1' aka 'Kasparov Deterministic' where you have only 1 SP. Garry quits the 1975 classical WCC Vs Anatoly Karpov, is arrested in Russia (instead of Japan), immigrates to Iceland and dies in 2008. 1975 is not a big loss. In fact, it's better because Bobby Fischer takes over. 1978 is Bobby vs Anatoly match of the century in Baguio, the Philippines! Idk what happens in 1981, but then 1984 Eugene Torre wins the candidates and faces Anatoly/Bobby! In 1976, I guess Eugene still beats Anatoly. Either Anatoly or Bobby. (Trivia: In our world, Eugene almost beat Bobby in 1992.) 3 - Bobby is still alive in 2024. Bobby, Anatoly, Sergey Karjakin, Wesley, Nepo are on Lex Fridman's podcast while Magnus, Garry & Hikaru aren't. 4 - In the 2019 inaugural world Kasparov Deterministic chess championship (WKDCC), Magnus beats Wesley in 3 classical chess1 games in a row in but no one cares. Fabi is still the top 4 in the 2019 world chess1 championship but the top3 is now Liren. Nepo has never played a chess1 game, just as in our world Liren has never played a recorded 9LX game before 2024Feb. 5 - Wesley/Nepo doesn't quit the 2023 classical WCC. Nepo/Wesley wins 2022 candidates and no one cares about Liren. Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi is the biggest rivalry in chess, far exceeding as well as succeeding the next biggest rivalry Bobby Fischer vs Anatoly Karpov, like Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad. Wesley, & Nepo are both considered GOATs along with Bobby & Anatoly. There's no distinction between GOAT & MTOAT. There's a slight bias towards Wesley because Wesley is Bobby's nephew. 6 - Chess' popularity in the Philippines & Norway are inverted. 6a In our world, Bobby had radio interviews in the Philippines. In this world, Garry has radio interviews in Norway. 6b Then Prospero Pichay Jr is imprisoned and the Philippine chess federation is free from corruption. But Wesley is still American. Huhuhu. Oh, in this reality, Magnus' parents are evil and then Magnus gets adopted by religious parents who are friends of Garry, so it's like Magnus is Garry's nephew. The 2019 WKDCC is still like a pseudo - Bobby vs Garry, and it's billed as battle of thei nephews. 7 - But still no one actually really cares about chess1 because no one wants to have a headache over studying the same boring SP again and again. Also its top players Magnus & Garry are still cheaters. But well ok maybe in rapid & blitz chess1 is picking up. (Same as our world. Fiiiine Magnus is right about keeping regular chess for rapid & blitz.) So there's still a 2022 rapid world chess1 championship, half a century after the 1972 REGULAR match of the century. This time Hans Niemann wins beating Hikaru Nakamura on tiebreaks. This time Hikaru accuses Hans, but Hans still sues both Hikaru & Magnus. Ches***m is not sued and is just as good as lichess. Hans is still considered the next Bobby Fischer / Anatoly Karpov while Wesley & Nepo are still considered the current Bobby / Anatoly. 8 - In 2024Feb, FIDE still cancel their 2024 WKDCC, but Wesley & Nepo host a rapid chess1 championship but don't invite Magnus & Liren. Hans isn't a cheater but has still has beef with St Louis Chess Club and so doesn't play that due to scheduling conflicts, but Magnus & Hans are still going to eventually defend the, resp, classical & rapid world chess1 championships. 9 - In general, chess doesn't have that many cheaters, cheating incidents, baseless accusations, etc and has very little corruption, discrimination, treason, politics, etc. FIDE is hailed as 1 of the cleanest sports/gaming organisations. Chess is an olympic sport. Bobby/Anatoly are FIDE officials. 10 - Tiebreaks are settled by armageddon w/ auction rather than lower time controls, so Sergey & Fabi still lose to Wesley/Nepo in resp 2016 & 2018. But no one calls for change of tiebreaks to rapid time controls. Lol. Also, pre-arranged draws are so rare. 11 - Sergey isn't banned because Sergey only privately supports Putin because chess doesn't make people go insane unless they the players want to stick to 1 SP only, like Garry. 12 - Actually here, Bobby has very neutral feminist enlightened political views and is a true patriotic Jew & American ( in politics in addition to still being such a patriot in chess ) while respectfully criticising both US & Israel along side condemning Osama bin Laden / Al-Qaeda & Ismail Haniyeh / Hamas. So Bobby is still against Iraq invasion. 13 - Most importantly, no one cares about Garry, Magnus, Hikaru or Liren. Specifically, in this world, they care less about them as compared to Wesley, Nepo, Bobby & Anatoly in our world. 14 - Paradise. --- Ok back to reality: --- PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's (rapid WFRCC) WIFE vs Wesley's (classical WFRCC) GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

Perhaps its time to create another title. Super gm or something like that.

Indian-Origin Boy, 8, Breaks World Record To Be The Youngest To Defeat A Grandmaster In Classical Chess. Ashwath Kaushik, who represented Singapore, defeated Stopa, who at 37 is nearly five times older than him. An eight-year-old Indian-origin boy defeated Polish chess grandmaster Jacek Stopa at the Burgdorfer Stadthaus Open in Switzerland on Sunday

kramnik: he is a cheater

Isn't GM from 2500+ ? Is that normal you get GM title and then you lose 200 points in your 30s?

If I was a grandmaster I would never play an 8-year-old.

Stopa probably got paid to lose

Is he also the lowest rated to beat a grandmaster?

This guy is a WGM.

A 2351 grandmaster? Really?

Super unpopular opinion. But if you’re a GM and your rating drops below 2300 in classical, you should lose your GM title and be forced to grind to get it back.

This is demoralising

Pretty low rated grandmaster.

Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'. Speaking of Wesley So Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend! 2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1... Kh7 2. g6+ Kxg6 3. Rg3+ Kf6 4. Nxg7 Rxg7 5. Qf4+ Ke6 6. Qh6+ Kf5 7. Rxg7 Rxg7+ 8. Qxg7 Qxb3 PS xcdhgq #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

2351 for a GM? That must be a record in itself.

Neither of them exist. Show us the good chess you use, bro

You really are on a hiding to nothing when playing a kid that age. if you win everyone goes "Sow hat?" and if you lose they never let you forget it.

A 2351 player is a GM, geez talking about lowering the bar. You should lose your GM title if you fall below a certain level like 2500

So much yapping

I m frst

🤣the loser is in the history books too

Not Singaporean ! Indian who lives in singapore
