Child prodigy humiliated by Anatoly Karpov, grandmaster and world champ from 1975-1985. This is what happens when you talk shit, kid

I don't think its the kid who comes off badly there - any one able to confirm if the subtitles are accurate

I'd be astonished if they were. I think it's a very unfunny attempt at a piss take.

Accounts I've read of this elsewhere suggested that Karpov was very nice to the boy.

I'm still siding with Anya Taylor-Joy. She wins every time for me!

Quite a few years old now.

Have already seen a few videos and yes wee Misha does get battered, but he's 3. Watch the video of him destroying GM level chess puzzles later that day.

Edit - also, of course the subtitles are wrong. The young lad actually plays a pretty perfect game but ultimately runs out of time because, as with most 3 year olds, he can't pay attention to more than 1 thing at a time.

I must be a humourless old git coz I couldn't find the joke.
Someone wasted their time putting this together.

I dunno, I was just happy my son was walking and talking by age 3.
