Gata Kamsky is the only chess prodigy to ever be ranked in the TOP TEN at age 16.
There are five others, though, who at least broke into the top twenty at that age. How many of the „other” five can YOU name?

Really inspiring to see a top chess player open up about the mental challenges of the game. Even with incredible performances, it’s a reminder of how much mental health matters and why it should always be prioritized. ☀️https://t.co/OumOaBPnwU
