The kid is Mikhail "Misha" Osipov and was considered a chess prodigy for playing at a really high level at 4 years old. He lost to Karpov. Today he is a low ranked player with no titles. Turns out being immediately good at something doesn't make you better than people who studied!
Well, unless you're the best chess player ever... and you do both. Just because you're talented doesn't mean you don't practice or are lazy. It's an easy assumption to come to.
