I recently tried the Play Magnus App. Just wanted to know how strong 9 year old Magnus would be?

Probably 1200-ish elo, 1500 ish rapid/blitz on chess.com

 

Age on 9 in the app he is very sharp tactically but if you can take it to an equal-ish endgame he'll start making silly moves

But magnus bieng 900 doesn't make sense coz ppl with master level find it difficult to beat age 10. (Heard from some sources)

I think in real life he was in the 1800 - 2000 range.

Magnus was 900 ish when he was 9, but when he turned 10 he was already 2000.

He evolved too fast, and wouldn't be good for the app to go from 1000 to 2000 so they kind of spread those rating points a little bit more

I played him at 9 years old, and I beat him in one game. I’ve played him at 9 years and 1 month, and I haven't beaten him yet. I might beat him eventually, but I will lose plenty of games. In the past, I have beaten him at 10 years old. I played him at 11 years old, and I gave up, back to a lower age.
