Talk:Chess prodigy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't understand this:
- Chessplayers tend to gain the Grandmaster title earlier and earlier, one of the reasons being the importance of using computers in Chess.
Why do computers make it easier for players to become grandmasters sooner? I mean, everybody uses computers, not just young players. I would have thought that the real reason for the lowering in the age of grandmasters is a general devaluation of the grandmaster title (certainly there are more grandmasters now than ever before). --Camembert
- I've decided to remove that setence. Maybe I'm not thinking right, but I just don't see what relevence computers have here. --Camembert
- OK

I've changed the Morphy score against Löwenthal from 3-0 back to 2.5-0.5 (which is what it was before). I'm pretty certain this is correct: Morphy won the first two games, and agreed a draw in the third despite having a much superior position, if I remember correctly. Admittedly I don't have anything definitive to hand to check this right now, but I'm fairly confident its correct, and [1] (first paragraph below the second picture) and [2] for example seem to back it up. --Camembert
- Turns out I was wrong - see Paul Morphy. --Camembert
[edit] Prodigies
in the list of chess prodigies, someone needs to decide if the list items will end in periods or not- we can't have it change from item to item. also, I removed the redundant link to paul morphy; removed (See Paul Morphy) from "Paul Morphy blah blah blah blah. (See Paul Morphy)" where 'Paul Morphy' is linked both times.

[edit] Table of youngest GMs
It seems to me this table is of arbitary length. I propose shortening it to a set length, probably the youngest 10. Rocksong 02:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
