if he is already 13, and only 1400 rated, then the answer to your question is no.
Also, by looking just first ten moves of the game, you can already notice two clear errors by black...8...f6? and 10...h6? plus 3...d5 looks also pretty questinable as does whites c4 couple moves later
In fact the whole game was one big blunderfest. Cant believe black has 1400 rating.

I'm only 15 and rated 1600 and I have no shot of getting anywhere in my 'career' lol.
Originally posted by JusuhThat's impressive. If I could hit 2000 before I turn 18 I'd be in my glory... I figure if you manage to do that you might be able to peak out @ a master lvl.
In finland there is a 7-year-old girl who is already well over 1600 rated. Also she is finlands U-10 champion (won it when she was 5 y.o)
Originally posted by Red NightI totally disagree there... People continue to become 'stronger' in chess until 30. If you're rated 2000 @ 18 and keep training like normal you could potentially hit 2500 @ 30. Yah it's a bit old compared to Fischer and Capa. but it's not unusual.
Probably not.
If your not a master when you're 18, you're probably not going to make it.

The oldest master was 74 when he was minted.
But, in general, great and very good players are noticed far earlier than 18.
