Must be amazing getting started off in life with such an amazing title out of the gate

  He didn't become a Master yesterday to say "out of the gate", in his eyes he's been playing chess seriously for "all" of this life, and professionally for half of it. It's a weird thing to say to someone who overcame so much while still young. He wasn't given anything "out of the gate".

  You should read about the amount of sacrifices he and his parents did. Chess is very expensive if you want to be a professional and progress to the GM title.

  He's not "getting started," it's just that he's finished his first marathon while most 18-year-olds are just tying their shoes for their first jog
