Two more weeks and I've beaten him at age 9.5. If I can keep up this pace, I'll be a grandmaster by April (that's how it works, right?).
I shellacked Magnus (well, 9-year-old Magnus, at least)
Thanks! I’m trying to beat age 10 now. I almost eked out a draw in another Ruy Lopez, but ended up in a lost king and pawn endgame.
Me too, but ten y.o. is tougher.
he is beatable now.
aura myth. Just another guy.
Where are you finding these???
These are from the Play Magnus app.
Magnus age 9 is the bane of my existence. I beat him maybe once out of ever 15 games. I can usually outplay him into the late middle game, but almost inevitably I can't come up with a plan and I end up blundering or allowing him to achieve equality. Last night, though, I beat him soundly with Black in the Ruy Lopez, and I had to share.
