KOMPAS.com – Chess with the title Grandmaster (GM), Susanto Megaranto, commented on the child prodigy named Satria Duta who could beat GothamChess on the Chess.com site.

Fan God which is controlled Dadang Subur is not the only account from Indonesia that has beaten GothamChess on the site chess virtual Chess.com.

GothamChess alias Levy Rozman, in a shared Instagram Live video WGM Irene Sukandar Some time ago, he had even more respect for two Indonesian chess players he often met on Chess.com, namely GM Novendra Priasmoro and Satria Duta.

The last name deserves more credit considering that he is only 12 years old and defeated GothamChess in August 2020 in a duration of 3 minutes. Currently, Satria Duta is only in Elementary School (SD)!

“When I was 12 years old I was also addicted to chess but not as good as him. He even beat Novendra. He has played 5,500 blitz game (fast chess mode at Chess.com), while Novendra has only played 2,300, “said GothamChess, amazed by Satria Duta’s talent.

“In fact, Satria Duta has another account at Chess.com. This means that more or less he has played around 10 thousand blitz game. That’s crazy! ” he said again.

“Yes, I think there are many potential young chess players besides Satria Duta, who are as good as him. It remains how they are consistent in working hard to face the tournament offline.
