how gullible can a person be, jeez

• Llama47 you say this is obviously not real only because you are dumbfounded by his playing level. Being dumbfounded by something doesn’t make anything thing obvious. What IS apparent is your unwillingness to even entertain the possibility that a youth could display this degree of expertise innately. That’s the disheartening part. I thought this forum would be more welcoming and encouraging but some in here seem intent only to disparage or cast doubt when I’ve given literally no reason for it other than the sheer disbelief the facts may cause.

Why would the news be interested in the online playing of a newbie chess player? I can’t even get this forum to believe this!

Looks like that took you a long time to type. Next time try "you're just jealous." Being short and to the point is also a better way to troll.

By the way, the alleged age, win %, and CAPS score aren't what make me think this is a troll... it's a few things together (like why make a topic about it and beg for attention) but mostly it's one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet, which I've avoided mentioning because if I educated you it would help make the obvious cheaters less obvious.

I’m just relaying the facts as I know them to be and am overwhelmed by the tone of some of the naysayers on here. 

What if im not a troll? Then perhaps we have something truly special here. He will continue to play and in 6 months his “newbie” status can be discarded as a reason to shake your head in disbelief at his level of play? Until then I’m going to enjoy watching him play and best human and AI players whenever I can. 

And I mean less obvious to me... not less obvious to chess.com. Knowing it wouldn't help you avoid chess.com's cheat detection at all.

I inquired on this topic because I am NOT a chess player an know nothing of how things are set up. When I saw how well he played it made me wonder and so I sent that initial post out to ask for guidance. That is all.

Then leave and don't come back.

So he is a troll?

Then don't argue.

I feel like I need to argue because you aren’t accepting what I’m saying as truth and hence are offering zero advice except to call me a cheat or liar.

If the account keeps playing the same way it's been playing and is still open a few weeks from now, then I'll apologize to you. Let's say 50 games over a few weeks.

But I've seen this movie 100 times by now. I know how it ends. You're not nearly as clever as you wish you were.

It's less then 2%, probably 0.1% if I'm being generous.

You don’t know and I can appreciate some of your hesitancy and skepticism. 
I DO know however and the collective disbelief on here only shows me how atypical his skill is.

Llama that is a fair promise. I look forward to you following his progress and I can assure you he WILL be playing still after such a tremendous start. 

Of course, because this topic isn't about gaining the insight of other players (as your OP claims)  it's about bragging. "His skill is atypical"

How do you know it's atypical if you're not a chess player? Why do you argue if you claim to know nothing? Why do you continue to post if we're ignorant and rude?

The only answer, the answer to which all arrows point, is you simply want attention.

Ok

He lost to a 1600 in rapid which is about 1300 in real chess 🤔

lol, I just saw the name.

Yeah, you're definitely a mature father and not a bored teenage kid /s
