Yeah Nyzhnyk carries around a teddy bear with him when he gives simuls. Lose to that. 🙁

Sorry, but Nicky is a USCF master, but not a Fide master. Still mighty impressive, though.

Yep, I'd heard that also. I don't mind getting beaten by kids - It happens to me all the time. But darned if I'm gonna let myself get beaten by a kid carrying around a teddy bear. That's just sick!

Video proof of the teddy:

like most prodigy's he'll probably fall off when he's older. probaby plateau at a point here soon, from their he won't get to much better.

Very few keep improving beyond a certain age (untill they're much older)
