Even the world's great players lose their courage in defeating five-time world champion and number one chess player Magnus Carlsen, but a 10-year-old kid from Bulgaria has claimed that Carlsen's game also has flaws and that he can defeat him. The kid's name is Ivan Kukushkin.

In fact, the 34-year-old Norwegian player recently won the Grenke Freestyle Chess Open 2025 tournament held in Germany. Ivan was in the gallery during the final, and after the tournament, he won the audience's hearts with his fearless, accurate, and sharp comments. Carlsen is not a computer, he also has flaws

10-year-old Ivan said, I can beat Carlsen. Anyone can beat him, because even though he is the best player in the world, he is not a computer. Carlsen also makes mistakes. He is very strong, but he is not an engine.
