This hilarious chess video comes from the US Chess School in December 2010. The precocious lad was, at that time, the youngest chess master in the country at 10 years old. He destroys overconfident teacher IM Greg Shahade in both the blitz game and the kibitzing, all the while sipping 7-Up. The video resurfaced in the summer of 2013 on the Top 50 rankings at Reddit.com. Today, four years after upload, it surpassed one million views on YouTube!
Whether you have seen it before or not, this video is definitely worth another look.
Starting tomorrow, Sam Sevian, now a full-fledged Grandmaster, participates in the prestigious Tata Steel Tournament at Wijk aan Zee (Netherlands). Many can remember him from Bay Area events as an 8 or 9 year old, already a dangerous opponent. He certainly has come a long way, and his future appears very bright!
