  alexmagnus: Well....Would you resign too fast against a 9-year-old boy with a rating of 904? It's quite interesting: Carlsen's last performance before that 904 was published was 1400ish but his performances after it was published were all above 1900.

  alexmagnus: Watching his other games of this tournament I even suppose it was played BEFORE his first official rating (904) was published.

I wouldn't say this is 1900 level chess. The opening is straight out of a blitz game. But at 9 years old this is still superb and you can see he was fast developing a great great understanding of the game. I've just been through a few of his early games when he was a little boy and WOW!? I really shouldn't be too shocked, lol ✌
