Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
While, I certainly love to see more up and coming American Players, we need to clear up the facts of these young prodigies. Many of them are not really at the Level Fischer was when he was 15. Fischer was already competing with the Best Grandmasters of that day, and Made it to the Candidates tournament of 1959 and had decent results. However, none of these “new” child prodigies have really achieved the same success, with the exception of Magnus Calsen who made it to the Candidates Matches after his second world cup appearance. Karjakin…might be the youngest, and several others have beaten Fischer’s record, but they were not playing at the same level Fischer was when he was 15!
Ray wasn’t ready for the Hungarian chess monsters.
He needs to live in Hungary to improve his game. USA chess is weak at best. Give this young man exposure to the Hungarian school of chess.
