I wonder if we should add Capablanca to that list (if I recall correctly, he defeated his father in an odds game at the age of 5)!?

A Nimble Chess Artist — The former U.S. chess champion Hikaru Nakamura is fast. The quicker the pace on the chess board, the more he seems to enjoy playing. His nimble skills helped him to secure a place for the next traditional Amber tournament, a blindfold and rapid chess extravaganza played every spring on the French Riviera. Competing at the NH tournament in Amsterdam, Nakamura, 22, led the Rising Stars to a 26-24 victory over the chess veterans, the Experience team, on Sunday. Another member of the winning team, the young Dutch champion Anish Giri, 16, had an identical 6-4 score as Hikaru, but only one could qualify for the Amber tournament. In the blitz playoff, Nakamura defeated Giri 2-0, ensuring ...

Capa was clearly . . .

Message:
. . . master strength by age 12 (when he won a match against Corzo, a master-level player) and probably reached GM strength sometime between then and the age of 20 when he was clearly SUPER-GM strength (crushing one of the top 10 players in the world, Marshall, 15-8 in a match and winning the year's strongest GM event).

With both Capa and Fischer and perhaps other "oldtimers" like Kasparov even, the "date" of GM is a little deceptive because they did not have opportunities to play in GM norm events earlier and then demonstrated GM skills on their FIRST TRY (!). That is, Fischer's first international event was the Interzonal, where he qualified for the Candidates Tournament as one of the top 10 players in the world and automatically became a GM, but he was clearly GM strength at 14 when he won the US Championship. Similarly, Capa won his international debut at San Sebastian ahead of Rubinstein, Nimzo, Schlecter, etc. These days, a young player usually gets many chances to play in norm events and can gain the titles more quickly as a result.

Dmitry Andreikin wins world junior title — The 49th World Junior Chess Championship ended Monday in Chotowa, Poland. Every country was invited to send its best young chess players, born in 1990 or later. The record field of 120 players, representing 55 countries, included 20 grandmasters and 34 IMs. Russian chess grandmasters Dmitry Andreikin, age 20, and Sanan Sjugirov, 17, shared first place with scores of 10-3. On tiebreak, Andreikin wins the gold medal. Andreikin had played in four previous World Juniors, with a best result of fourth place in 2007. This year, he was rated highest at 2650 and went undefeated despite facing eight GMs. Sjugirov won the most games (eight) but suffered one upset. Four chess players tied for ...
