An Argentinian chess prodigy, who happens to be 10 years old, just beat Magnus Carlsen. Pretty crazy.

Argentine chess prodigy, 10-year-old Faustino Oro, has caused a commotion by defeating world number one Magnus Carlsen in a quickfire game at a prestigious tournament.

The talented youngster, known locally as the "Messi of Chess" (a reference to national football team icon Lionel Messi), surprised everyone with his victory, which came in just 48 moves.
