They're calling it the Turkish Immortal

Have a look at this recent chess game. Just play through the moves.

It's from a recent chess tournament in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. This is one of the qualifying tournaments for next year's World Championship, and there are some very fine players competing.

Chess is very popular around the world these days, and many new young stars from unfamiliar regions are making the modern game quite exciting to watch.

In this game, the white pieces are played by Aditya Mittal, who will have his 19th birthday this Friday, while the black pieces are played by Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş , currently the youngest grandmaster in the world, having just turned 14 in June.
