The kid is Mikhail “Misha” Osipov and was considered a chess prodigy for playing at a really high level at 4 years old. He lost to Karpov. Today he is a low ranked player with no titles. Turns out being immediately good at something doesn’t make you better than people who studied!
This seems kind of… cruel, honestly. I mean the kid is 4; I could imagine a 9 or 10 year old being mature enough to view this as an honor / thrill of a lifetime, but 4 is reallllly pushing it.
