- The greatest chess genius who ever lived just might be among us! The insanely talented Anish Sarkar of India is playing at a level that is truly mind boggling for someone who is practically a toddler! He is the youngest player ever to receive an international rating, debuting at an incredible 1555 Elo just last month! Watch him play like someone 5 times his age and and solve tactical problems with board vision that is unfathomably beyond his years!
Hey, i' m rated and im only 2 years, 426 months and 12 days old.
Bravo!!
ha ha ha ha -- I know I'm not gonna hear the end of that slip up, but your correction is the cleverest so far!
You forgot 2 before 2
Hahaha
@@kantibiswas31I don’t respond much but that was really funny ❤
I am blown away too. I started teaching my son the pieces and their starting position at 3 I was impressed that he could do that, 1555 is absolutely absurd!
I am amazed by this pre- school chess genius.
3years 18 months and 19 days? Did you mean 8 months?
I've heard people joke about other people's height by saying "He's 4 feet, 14 inches."
yep 8 months -- not sure how that happened
3 years 18 months is basically a 5 year old
@@nuclearthreat545 They put up his birthday as Jan 26 2021 in the video so he is not 4 yet if the date is accurate. Month 8 is not today but the day he achieved that rating of 1555.
He said " yes, you heard me correctly!"
18 months!!
Pretty soon babies will be coming out of the womb with chess boards!
Painful
@@politicalfoolishness7491 and unsanitary, too! lol. I work in a NICU - the thought is haunting
The first thing they will say is Qh8(+)
At 3-yr old, I can already identify that the chessboard is a square, and its colors are green and white.
0:51 "At only 3 years, 18 months, and 19 days. Yes you heard me correctly." XD
He doesn't have some mind-blowingly deep understanding of the opening , he was merely playing the Colle-Zukertort. It's an opening often taught to beginners because it can be played against virtually anything Black does and requires little theoretical knowledge. He probably plays the same eight moves with White against all of his opponents.
I'm 3 years and 480 months old
Anish Sarkar's favorite move is H3 (age 3)
Yes! I think that's the best comment I've ever got! Very clever
😅
Three years and 18 months puts him over four years old.
slip of the tounge -- meant to say 3 years 8 months
Yes, I thought just a slip. Rather than only pointing out a flaw, I want to say I enjoy all your clear, educational videos. Your manner and commentary is excellent.
So???. Iam new born baby, 0 years, 450 months and kicking everywhere
Where's Karpov when we need him
Damnnnn😂
I have been following some of Anish's chess journey particularly because of his chess at such an absurdly young age and also because he is from my home city of Kolkata and from my Indian Bengali community. BTW, his coach, Dibyendu Barua, is one of the 1st GMs of India, 2nd behind Anand (only few weeks or months behind Anand's GM title) and also from the same city/region.
Thanks for covering some of his chess in such a great way. His one particular game I recall watching in a video titled "3-year-old Anish Sarkar plays Major Piece Endgame like an adult" in Tata Steel Chess Festival was during the time of Tata Steel India (which is held in Kolkata every season so I guess that's why he was invited to the venue and that was when he met Carlsen and everyone).
That game he lost btw but imo that was only during his endgame mistakes. He had an advantage in the middlegame. You can find that in ChessBase India. It would be uploaded during the Tata Steel India during the same time his puzzle solving video with ChessBase India's Sagar Shah titled "How strong is 3-year-old Anish Sarkar | Talent Test" was uploaded. Even that was not a complete game though. I may edit the comment later if I find something substantial or find any of his complete games.
Thanks you for the helpful information! I always appreciate assistance with the research! And how exciting that must be to have a such a great talent from one's home city, a potential world champion someday!
2 second puzzle comes from a game played between Napoleon and his general Bertand , many think this was a composed game to make Napoleon look like a excellent chess player
Si no iban a traducir el contenido al español, pues el título tampoco debieron traducirlo.
In chess history you will find Sam Reshevsky also 3 years old playing chess at a decent level back in 1915.
Oh, it was Reshevsky -- I was trying to remember which chess greats of the past started at such a young age -- I was pretty sure there was another 3 year old player -- but I couldn't remember who
@@squareonechess6939 It's before our time indeed! Cheers.
@@squareonechess6939 Probably Capablanca
here i am grinding to maintain my 400 average joe rating and i've played on and off for over 20 years.. lmao some minds are wired different; i refuse to believe that anyone could achieve similar feats through sheer effort alone
I completely agree. I'm no prodigy of genius, nowhere even remotely close. But I'm not handicapped or anything, either. I have a reputation in my hospital I work at for being pretty smart. I never committed strongly to playing chess, but I enjoy it, and likewise have played on and off for over 20 years. I am not FIDE ranked, but I am 99% sure my ELO would be sub-1,000; probably sub-600 right now. I'm just not very good at some of the very helpful skills for chess. I'm sure if I committed to it, I could improve a lot, but a 3 year old ranked @ 1500+? Lol, not only do I not know I could ever reach 1,500, I think there is absolutely no shot in the world that as that kid gets older, I could ever have a chance.
Thx for your Video and greetings to all chess Friends around the world 🏍🚗🦣♟♟♟♟
now you might believe in reincarnation
They should be careful that he doesn't swallow any pieces. 😂
3 years and 18 months so he's actually almost 5😂
These stories never end well
Abgesehen von dem beeindruckenden schachlichen Können, stimmt vermutlich, wie auch bei Gurkesch, hier das Alter nicht. Der Junge ist nach dem Aussehen zu urteilen m. E. ca 5 oder 6 Jahre alt.
His parents' excellent first move(!!) was naming him Anish
His parents apparently don't even know how the pieces move. Just ordinary people.
@0:52 3 years 18 months and 19 days? Did you mean 8 months and not 18?
i was impressed when i got demolished in 15 moves by a 7 yo when i was 10
3 yrs 18 months is 4 yrs 6 months still good
You do realize that 3 years 18 months is 4 years and 6 months right?
Or do you have more months than the rest of us in your time zone?
What a great channel you have.
I always get at least one good laugh on top of the great content! Thanks man!
Thanks! Thats my goal!
Carsslon is a brave man for goin' to à third world country like Indiana.
A three year old with a professional chess coach? Should we be encouraging that?
Good point -- I think it depends on the kid ... and the coach! Probably not recommended for 99.99% of 3 year olds
@@squareonechess6939 I think this, too. I don't think it is a bad thing inherently. But, either frivolous or not recommended for the vast majority of folks that young.
I'm a 2 day old fetus. I'm 1669 elo.
I've been really enjoying your detailed chess analysis - your step-by-step explanations are excellent and bring great value to the chess community. However, I feel I need to mention something: the recent trend towards heavily clickbait titles and thumbnails is concerning. While I understand the pressure to grow on RUclips, extreme clickbait can actually harm channel growth by pushing away dedicated viewers who value authentic content (as seen in some comments on your previous video).
Your content is strong enough to stand on its own merits. Consider finding a middle ground - titles can be engaging and attract views while still accurately representing the video's content. This builds trust with your audience and leads to more sustainable growth in the long term.
Keep up the great analysis work - that's what brings us back to your channel!
Thanks! Do you not think he plays like an adult?
@@squareonechess6939 Your chess analysis demonstrates Anish's excellent play, no doubt about that! He's an incredible talent. But that's exactly my point - you can highlight his amazing performance with titles that are both engaging AND accurate, without resorting to extreme exaggeration. Something like "3 Years Old Stuns Top Players" would capture the excitement while maintaining credibility. Your analysis quality speaks for itself - let's trust the viewers to appreciate that!
So you believe that saying he plays "like an adult" is extreme exaggeration? I don't. The average adult who simply knows how to play chess would probably be crushed by a 1550 rated player -- the average adult you would encounter at a chess club would be significantly stronger -- but at my local chess club -- there are a number of adults players rated in the 1500s who have been playing for years. So if someone assumes that by "adult", I mean the average titled adult player, or the average adult player that I make videos about, or the average adult player competing in high level tournaments, I really think that is on them.
@@squareonechess6939 I see your point about the term "adult player", but I think we're talking past each other here. My original comment wasn't about that specific phrase - it was about the overall trend in recent video titles and thumbnails (like the current "3 Yr Old Chess Prodigy SMASHES Record! Magnus Carlsen Is Paying Attention!").
While these titles might get more initial clicks, they can affect the channel's credibility. Many chess content creators have found success with titles that generate interest while staying true to the actual content - think agadmator, or Daniel Naroditsky.
Your analysis is genuinely excellent, which is why I and others care enough to bring this up. We want to see your channel succeed long-term with the quality content you produce.
Ok, but he did smash the record, and he actually met Magnus Carlsen who said "it's amazing to see the level he's at" , which I think qualifies as "paying attention" , does it not?
was Anish playing the collie-zukertort? or whatever it's called..
He probably played chess in his past life :D
Rebirth of Paul Morphy? 😅. His parents apparently don't even know how the pieces move. Just a freak of nature perhaps.
Soon someone will claim a baby in utero is a chess genius and will be the next big thing in chess.
Too bad the commentator doesn't have the level of expertise to comment on a Tartakover variation of the Colle.
It'd be interesting to know if these young players really understood the moves they made or if they were playing by rote.
Hope to see them progress and advance in Indian chess!
Indian talents come out of Tamil Nadu, so I was happy an impressive kid is making the waves from my state of West Bengal too. I hope we have more representation in Indian chess and contribute to our global domination. Thanks for the interesting vid eggman
He is just a freak of nature. Outside South India chess is not that heavily promoted. People in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Bengal and other states just simply play it as an intellectual side gig.
@DC-zi6se it can change anytime. People will take risk for the reward like Gukesh's parents did or Pragg's parents did. Its bound to happen considering Indian population is so huge that we will have more good players.
Yes. I checked up myself. It is 3 y 8 m 19 d. 8 was accidentally read as 18.
Thanks for the correction :)
great commentary
What age did he learn to play, I'm guessing I have a 1 in 3 chance.
If you just put the bugs on the chessboard, you would get the same ratings, if not higher😄
great anish
3 yrs 18 months?
3 years, 18 months old.....I sense click bait
He was 3 years 8 months 19 days, a simple slip of the tongue
That’s nothing. I’ve been undefeated since I was 2! (On my first move only)
Well his rating is better than mine, and im 50... ;)
Uh, 3 years 18 months is 4 and a half...ha
What’s with the sunglasses man?
It's to bait dumb and shallow people who focus too much on outward appearances. Which serious chess players aren't.
Helps not have to reshoot if you’re not looking directly at the camera
@psijicassassin7166 I welcome those people too though! The one's who only care about the chess don't mind the sunglasses, and actually wouldnt even care if I went back to not showing my face at all -- and then there's that percentage of people who care alot about the sunglasses and why they are worn. There is a great channel, I think its called "The Jazz Ranch" -- where the guy always wears sunglasses . I remember the first time I watched one of his videos, I wondered why he wore sunglasses for maybe a few seconds and then never thought about it again -- because I love jazz and was much more interested in that -- so different priorities for different kinds of people.
@@squareonechess6939 your videos are great, but the more I watch them the more I wonder about the sunglasses. Especially now that you showed us a picture of yourself as a kid. Finally saw your actual eyes.
Now it is super ...but we cant say that he couldbe genious at the age of 20 ....some people mind doesnt increase
What's up with the goofy sunglasses on every video?
Super-prodigy...
Those young ones don't continue for some reason.
Why?
Some prodigies do continue. But yes, it's not guaranteed. A lot of things are needed to be put in place and pressure and everything on him also are needed to be dealt delicately.
@@The_Mind_Journey I guess they simply lose interest.
True -- the stars still have to align perfectly for him to become world champion. Nothing gauranteed
You look like an AI...
Obrigado pela excelência,
Muito legal ouvir em meu idioma, show de bola!

Melt your face off?? hehe
