"Every chess master was once a beginner."

—Irving Chernev

 

 

Believe it or not, the world's greatest super-grandmasters were all 'ChessKids', too: Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Viswanathan Anand, Fabiano Caruana, and Anish Giri, to name a few. 

With time and practice, any dedicated chess player can become a chess master. 

Rising Chess Prodigies

Chess is on the rise, catching the interest of many youths, including brilliant chess masters Tani Adewumi, Shreyas Royal, Alice Lee, and Brewington Hardaway. 

Take a look at the top 5 chess prodigies in 2023.

These well-known ChessKid stars are only some of the many talented kids on the site who became titled players. All four chess prodigies have already secured at least one International Master norm and are one step closer to becoming one of the youngest grandmasters in the world.
