Thats me!!!
I have the Magnus Carlson app on my phone and one of the options is to play against him at various ages.
I think he beats me when he turns 7 years old. LOL

I doubt anyone here would make it past 9 or 10. He was a grandmaster at 13.

I think this site is racist. White is always beating black.

In my twenties, I used to play for my town's chess club and read books about it and everything, and I regularly got beat by a kid who was about 10 years old. Of course, he didn't look so clever when I punched him in the face.

I bought a bobby fisher biography many decades ago and it had a bunch of his games in an appendix. I would play them out on a chess board, to see genius in action. But I wasn't good enough at chess to appreciate any of the genius.

OK, one last position for anybody who's interested, since I thought this was wonderful, and very unusual. White can take the Queen with check, but he gets mated.

White's only move is rook to E1.

Rook to E1 wouldn't help. After ..RE8 and RE2 and then RxE2 the situation would be worse than before.
D3 might be a move, no?

D3 just loses the Queen, and in compensation white has a totally lost position
I was only joking

White Queen to F3.
Still loses the Queen, but at least taking a black Bishop with it. -

Kasparov 1981. Mate in 3 if QxR. White avoids mate if QxN but still loses queen.
