    Really? I xant believe any 3 year old could pull over like a 700. Does this kid actually exist?

    *Edit: Fucking hell. He’s real. Anish Sarkar. He has a grandmaster coach and practices 8 hours a day. Kids going to quickly become unbeatable and burn out quicker than Bobby Fisher.

    I’ve been rated between 1200-1300 for 5 years now with no indication of any upward trend despite hiring a chess coach and studying. There’s just no helping some of us!

      ELO is based on how well you do against other players, right? If you’re getting better at the same rate as your average opponent, you’d see no increase.

      So technically, they have a 1600 rating before celebrating their first birthday?
