Does the fact that there are so many 10, 11 12, and 13 year old teeniehoppers who are chess masters on up to even GMs in a few cases, prove that chess isn't really all that hard, and that us adults on here who rate under 2400 are complete idiots?

When you study chess under a GM from the age of four that's going to happen, whereas everyone on their own has a lot more work to do.

All of the child prodigies have titled players as coaches so this is normal. They don't all become GMs but that's only when they don't want to commit to it.


Not everybody has the talent to become a GM, no matter how hard they train, or how good their coach is.

That's true but your average prodigy is going to have that training.


 Actually the vast majority don't have the talent, but I'm sure you're right about the training.
