Alireza Firouzja qualifies to the Candidates at the age of just 18! 👏👏👏
IF Firouzja were to win, he would be the youngest challenger ever, and IF he were to win a world championship match in 2023 OR in 2025, he would be the youngest champion of all time.

One of the best blitz chess games of all time: Tal vs. Karpov, 1987 👏
Near the end of his career, Mikhail Tal won this spectacular battle against Anatoly Karpov, also an ex-world champion by '87.

No other game so transcends age, time, nation, and language, and no photo so perfectly captures this then 8 year-old Polish prodigy Sammy Reshevsky giving an exhibition against a host of adult enthusiasts in Paris in 1920.
