Poor Hikaru, he had to deal with Magnus effects for over a decade, and now just before the goat force dwindling, we see Faustino Oro in his way.

[@tiagomoraes1510]

Hikaru deff got so mad when he saw this

[@georgeovitt5443]

Oro's remarkable progress over four years raises (for me anyway) an interesting question about the relationship among chess, math, and music. There are no literary prodigies--no one has written The Sound and the Fury at age ten--but there are many examples (e.g. Fisher, Ramanujan, Mozart) of early genius in chess, math, and music. I have read about pattern recognition in chess, which makes sense, but how many games has Oro played? Enough to allow him to "see" the right moves, or is his ability intuitive? Probably not a question of interest to most people, but how the brain works with these formal systems that are both rule-bound and creative seems endlessly interesting.

[@epicchess2021]

yeah he's played an incredible amount since aged 6 when he got into it in lockdown plus modern sites like chesscom give him access to endless puzzles and strong players so it's super charged his talent it seems

[@AnthonySouls]

IMO, prodigies all share one this thing in common: They have fantastic memories and pattern recognition, which helps with abstract thinking. I think that's really what it comes down to, Memory. Math, music, chess, all takes great memory to be good at. A lot of these areas have a visual memory component. With literary areas, it's more creative, I think, and experience driven. Like, Grammar, spelling, sentence structure seems less objective than chess. Like, rules change and it's organic and contextual. Math is objective. There are clear cut rules. Music is math kind of intersect. Chess has a lot of pattern recognition and defined rules. So yeah, I think it just comes to memory. I was pretty good at chess and math when I was younger, but I'm trash now. Memory is trash, too, lol. I think my memory could only take me so far. My pattern recognition? Trash. There you go. There is my theory to throw into the mix.

other people are like "check those 10 important moves that you HAVE to know if you want to beat Carlus Magnussen" and proceed rambling for 30 minutes while going into countless digressions that are just impossible to understand and memorize in one sitting anyway so what's the point, not to mention they thin the soup with so much water of blah blah blah
