Well, given that we can only count players who are under 22 years old, and given that no one is anywhere near as skilled as carlsen (who should eventually hold the title for 10-15 years if he stays consistent), I'd say the (future) youngest ever chess champion has yet to be born.
Do you think who will be...

I can't agree enough but what about Yi Wei? He is 14 years old and his rating is 2604(November 2013)
Magnus's rating is 2581(October 2004) when he was 14 years old.
It's very hard to tell if Yi Wei can break the record.
Magnus Carlsen failed to break Garry Kasparov's record for the youngest chess player to win the world chess championship title.
Magnus Carlsen's birthday is Nov 30, 1990 - Age 22
Garry Kasparov's birthday is April 13, 1963 - won the world title at age 22
So now...
Do you think who will be next to become the youngest grandmaster to win the world chess championship title?
