Faustino Oro, Argentina’s ‘golden boy’, became the youngest player to ever get an IM norm in September 2023. Before that, he had also been the youngest-ever to surpass both the 2200 and the 2300-rating marks.
Now living in Spain, where his parents intend to create a better environment for his development, the youngster not only has a training schedule of 12 hours per week, but also plays plenty of online chess, as reported by Infobae.
In this video course you will learn about basic chess opening strategies, which can help you start your chess game.
In a recent edition of chess.com’s Bullet Brawl, Oro got to play his first-ever game against Magnus Carlsen. The 10-year-old came out of the opening unscathed and went on to gain a pawn before reaching the endgame. A grave mistake by Carlsen gave the youngster an extra piece, which he converted into a memorable — yet symbolic, since 1-minute games are extremely volatile — victory.
Oro was streaming the tournament on his YouTube channel, and clipped his game against Carlsen. We can hear him say, “If I lose this position, I should retire from chess”, while his little dance of celebration at the end is surely endearing.
