There are a lot of young GMs out there and I dont think they are all geniuses. I agree about the larger and easier-to-reach database,it really helps a lot.But if you just give them a load of games to watch without explanations or teaching then they still get whipped by experienced players.Maybe there are some combo lead to this great success like good mentor+database+spend a great deal of time to study chess,etc.

Vasily Smyslov: the master of incisive calculation — How did the late Russian chess grandmaster deal with this situation? The life of a professional chess player is mentally and physically challenging. After the age of 40, for most professionals, there is a seemingly inevitable slide down the chess rankings. Garry Kasparov retired at 42, rated No 1 in the world, but I suspect he felt that the chasing pack was getting too close. That's why Vassily Smyslov's chess career was so remarkable. Smyslov, who died earlier this year, became world chess champion in 1957 at the age of 36, but continued playing at the highest levels, qualifying for the final of the world chess championship at the age of 63. This was the victory that got him ...

some children have a natural gift for chess - that coupled with practice, knowledge, experience, etc = obvious success. All others must work that much harder to acheive the same results!

Magnus Carlsen Survives on His Wits — One of the reasons that Garry Kasparov was the world’s dominant chess player from the late 1980s through the ’90s was that he was better prepared than his competitors. He spent an enormous amount of time researching chess openings for new ideas to spring on his opponents, or he paid others to do it for him. Magnus Carlsen, currently the world’s top-ranked chess player, is beginning to be as dominant as Kasparov was, but it is not because of his preparation. He has described himself as a bit lazy, and so rather than play the most popular chess openings, which everyone has studied, he often chooses systems, particularly as White, that do not yield any advantage. Carlsen wants to ...

training must be much better with much greater access to vast databases. software with top analysis, better food etc. The early great players had none of this, and thats why they were rubbish at chess.

Impressive Field at World Open — The World Open, the annual chess tournament in Philadelphia that always takes place around July 4th, often lives up to its name by attracting a world-class contingent of chess players. This year is no different as the field includes Francisco Vallejo Pons of Spain, Surya Shekhar Ganguly of India, Loek Van Wely of the Netherlands, Luke McShane of England, Evgeny Najer of Russia, Viktor Laznicka of the Czech Republic and Ilya Smirin of Israel. It also includes many of the best Americans, among them Gata Kamsky, the United States chess champion, and Alexander Onischuk. The players come because the tournament offers one of the biggest prize funds in the world. This year’s is ...

Magnus Carlsen closes in on Garry Kasparov's record chess rating — Magnus Carlsen is closing in fast on Garry Kasparov's all-time record chess rating. The 19-year-old Norwegian scored an unbeaten 7.5/10 at Medias, Romania to take his score on the daily calculations up to 2826, just 25 points shy of the great Russian's peak mark. And Carlsen did it while still not in optimum form. He began with two draws, then took risks including a 1 e4 e5 2 f4 King's Gambit and a couple of dubious positions, but his inventiveness and will to win coupled with the growing Carlsen-fear of those on the other side of the chess board ensured another impressive outcome. Technically his most interesting game, certainly from the practical viewpoint of competition ...

A Race for Second at the Grand Prix — With four rounds left in the Fourth Women’s Chess Grand Prix in Jermuk, Russia, time is rapidly running out for anyone to try to overtake Nana Dzagnidze of the Republic of Georgia for first place. She leads by 1.5 points over Lilit Mkrtchian of Armenia and Tatiana Kosintseva of Russia. She still has to play Mkrtchian and Hou Yifan of China, the chess tournament’s top seed, who is currently in fourth, so there is still a chance she might be caught. But her form so far has been superb as she has only yielded one draw in seven rounds. So the rest of the tournament may be a race for second. The Grand Prix is a series of six tournaments organized by the World Chess Federation. The winner will ...

Play online chess | Training
Message:
I have read form two different sources comparisons between learning chess and learning a language. They disagreed on the number of tokens of information necessary to be fluent in chess, one said 50,000 the other thought it was closer to 100,00. The trick is to spend your time learning the necessary and not to spend your time redundantly. Everything I have ever read states that it is far easier to learn a language when you are very young and here the comparison to chess definitely holds. Very few people have become strong players after taking up chess late in their life.
Also talent and access to information helps greatly!

Bogg has a point. Read about the Polgar sisters and how their father home-schooled them with a heavy dose of chess, chess, chess. These girls are intellingent, but calling them geniuses begs the question. He would claim it's training. Like language, it has to begin early or it won't work. That's why starting to learn French or Spanish in high school is ridiculous.

Play online chess | early players
Message:
I agree with chess_champion. Early players, like Anderssen or Morphy or Steintz would give the best today a real tussle. I just played through a few games of the Anderssen-Kolisch match, with analysis by Boden, Lowenthal, and Staunton, played in 1861 and was astounded and the strategic and tactical insights of all concerned. Maybe that's why Fischer rated Howard Staunton one of the greatest players of all time.

Play online chess | chess and language
Message:
thats interesting, I am very good at picking up a new language. In high school, i took spanish 1, skipped 2, took 3, skipped 4 and took 5. And i found it fairly easy to do so.
In chess, i am , well...., not quite as good at it. I think i have done acceptably well since i only started playing seriously early this year, but still, i dont know if the correlation still sticks if you are older.
Maybe though, give me a few years, and we will see if it comes as easily as a language did.
(P.S. Even though i know a lot ABOUT spanish from taking the classes, i still cant talk to anyone without sounding like a book, and i cant understand anyone who DOESNT sound like a book very well. Learning a language out of books is rediculous.)
