Origins[edit]

The channel was originally a let's play channel run by two old school friends, Shaun and Jen.[2][3] Shaun began making videos about other YouTubers (such as LeafyIsHere[4] and CinemaSins[5]) in 2016, and soon after began making videos refuting the arguments of popular right-wing, alt-right[6] and anti-SJW YouTubers.[7] The videos became increasingly popular as a new wave of leftist YouTubers (such as ContraPoints and Hbomberguy) began to gain traction on YouTube through their critiques of right-wing politics. Jen doesn't participate in these videos beyond occasionally drawing the thumbnail art,[8][9] and eventually left for Twitch. By September 2017, the title of the Shaun and Jen Youtube channel was changed to simply 'Shaun' (pending a new name), and Shaun's twitter handle and Twitch Channel also no longer have Jen in the title.[10][11] The symbol of the channel is a human skull wearing sunglasses, allegedly in order to 'reclaim the skull' from the alt-right (Davis Aurini, maker of The Sarkeesian Effect and Alt Right Dogs, keeps one on his bookshelf).

It's almost a year since R. Praggnanandhaa became the youngest IM in the world. He has now raced up to a rating of 2467 at the age of 11 years and 10 months! How talented is this young boy? How fast does he calculate? And what are the techniques that he uses while thinking on the board. Sagar Shah had those same questions and he travelled to Chennai to visit Pragg's house. He had selected ten not so easy positions to test the little wonder! At the end of the show, he was simply amazed. It's your chance to test your chess against the biggest chess talent in the world. Are you ready?!

9th ChessBase India show with Praggnanandhaa

On 4th of June I visited Praggnanandhaa's house in Chennai to do the 9th ChessBase India show with the boy. Q&A with the lad was not going to be interesting. He speaks very little and in general you want the 11-year-old to do stuff that he does the best - i.e play chess or calculate chess positions.

I collected ten interesting positions from my collection and decided to test the world's youngest IM. I had the feeling that the positions were quite tough and getting someone to solve it within an hour would not be easy. I was wrong! Pragg breezed through the positions in just 35 minutes! I will write about what impressed me most about this young talent in another article.

For now I would like to share these ten positions with you. If you are not in the mood to do chess right now, come back again. But do try your hand at solving these positions. The reason is very simple - when you solve them and note down the time it took for you to get the answer, you can check out how Praggnanandhaa did from the video download given at the end of this article. I don't believe in comparing two chess players with each other, but knowing where you stand vis-a-vis the biggest chess talent in the world is an exciting prospect!

The ten positions:

Position 1: This is an easy one to start off with! White to play. Pragg was able to crack it quite easily.

Position 2: White to play and draw. Not terribly difficult for Pragg, but it did make him think a bit!
Position 3: Black to play. I thought that the number of pieces on the board would be good enough to confuse the boy, but I wasn't successful!
Position 4: White to play. This was the toughest one to solve for Praggnanandhaa. So here's your chance to beat him!
Position 5: White to play and draw. This is a tricky study, but Pragg was able to solve it quickly. He said later that he had seen some similar patterns before.
Position 6: White to play and draw. Black pawns look menacing, but White has a few tricks up his sleeve. Pragg was able to zoom in on the most important variation very quickly. Can you do the same?

Position 7: Black to play. It's a famous game of Botvinnik. This one was not so easy for Pragg to solve. He got the initial idea quickly, but the follow up took some time.
Position 8: Can a tactic be hidden in such a normal position? Well there is one, and Pragg was able to find it without too many difficulties. Black to play.
Position 9: I had forgotten to remove the moves from this one and Pragg was able to see the answer. But you have the chance to solve it. It's White to play.

Position 10: The final one! White to play and mate in six. I was sure that Pragg would not be able to solve this one. But he surprised me, by getting the answer within three minutes! It was just unbelievable.
All I could do was bow down to this young boy's calculations! Yes, really I am bowing down!
At the end of these ten positions Pragg shows us his nice win over GM Allan Stig Rasmussen from the last round of the Hastings 2016-17. It helped him finish third in the tournament. Seeing the game you will understand a lot about how Pragg approaches a game of chess. Not really caring for opening preparation, confident that he can outplay his opponents in the ensuing middlegame complications!
