White to move.
Chess GM's will soon need baby-sitters
Not sure that is the exact headline in the paper, but here is how I found it.
My chess friend Ken showed me this game. I forgot to get the 13 year old's full name (Carlson), but he played a GM named Sergey Dolmatov and beat him.
I will get more info on this game next week if you guys can't find any. I don't have the news paper but Black's game is lost bad! I think the paper said this was the king's indian attack?
Enjoy!

I think the boy is Magnus Carlsen, 13 years old IM from norway, about to become the youngest GM...
I was at dinner with my friend Ken when he showed me the game, his ex-wife was also visiting and said "I bet he's from the USA".
I said "I bet he's not"! Wish I was wrong.

I must confess I don't understand why the GM resigned. The GM had good position ... oh...
19 .. gxh4?
20 Nxd5!
??? I dunno. I thought it could still work out. but seeing that on 14. whew. Rxe7 is scary.
