Tani Adewumi has been a rising chess talent, a talented prodigy. When he was 8 years old he challenged professional chess player and streamer Hikaru. The result was shocking. I am Ludwig
hopefully he doesnt and instead uses his brain to further society. "The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life."
@@XrandoME basically younger generations are fast learners and for sure when they practice chess they for sure beat old GM's, like me im trying to invent my own openings which helped me counter such attacks, so basically old generations will find this challenging.
For a short period of time the narration of the man makes you believe that the kid has the situation under control, then yoy remember he is GM Hikaru and everything returns to normal status.
@@aero1000 no when you decide to eliminate a piece you have to fight against the piece you eliminating with guns and aiming so eliminations can backfire if you have bad aim
You are right. It is a phenomenal accomplishment, considering Hikaru's Universe-class skill and that he has over 20 years more experience than Tani. Imagine Tani 20 years from now...
Every child that gets into something by the age of 4 will soak information like a sponge and thus get good at whatever it is doing at the age of 4. Sadly most kids watch some trash on their phones cause the parents let them, thus getting good at watching trash on the phone.
@@msch2229 You're literally just crying. Are you upset that child labor isn't legal or something? Let kids have a good time and stop treating them like investments for a profitable future for yourself, you're gross.
Kid blunders his bishop Hikaru: Alrighty guys so we’re gonna take the juicer, now takes, takes, takes, (stares up a ceiling) alrighty guys this is completely winning I think. Yeah yeah completely winning
Hats off. Kept Hikaru under control until the the unfortunate blunder, that I also missed. Well played buddy and kudos for pushing on. A GM in the making 👏
Why I haven't heard about this kid yet???! He must be such a strong ches player!! I'm scared what he would be like in the future.. and current world champion also should be 😂👌
By that time I don't think Magnus will care about it that much. He's 30 now, may be 40 when challenged by this boy. By then he has been WC for about 20 years, if he still is. I think he's not scared at all and would be 100% at peace with the result, whatever it may be. He has nothing to prove.
you definitely rock these videos. I understand the game pretty well (I'd have to do some matches to get and ELO, but I think I'm definitely in amateur, not novice) without any study. I feel I'll be learning a lot from this channel. Named tactics and such. A simple down to five minutes of any game would probably hold my interest. You make the experience actual fun.
I love how Tani is not only staring at the chessboard, but also a lot of times into the opponents eyes during gameplay. As if he's literally trying to read his mind.
I actually have a book about Tani. He is really good at chess for his age. If anyone wants to know what the book is called, it's "My Name Is Tani, And I Believe In Miracles". His story is really captivating and inspirational.
Tani just immediately went down after he blundered that rook on c1 then the bishop took it with material lost, safe to say though this is an interesting match with Tani going against Hikaru.
You guys actually think that Hikaru was trying? Whenever strong GrandMasters play against kids the GrandMasters always make a blunder to let the kid get a good move or something.
This guy is going to become the world chess champion some time. Defeating the 6th highest chess player is a feat that nearly nobody could accomplish other than world chess champions. but only at the age of 8? That is extremely impressive.
Yeah, because there's nothing like reinforced Western feelings of superiority and insecurity wafting in the comments; where the dumbest Blanco's are "allegedly" smarter than the smartest Blacks, so let's explain away why we're seeing an 8 years Blk kid do something most can't do as adults.

This is fresh, watching chess match with trance-like music.
anyone knows the name of the music btw ?
