youngest ever to become international master is Argentinian Oro Faustino at 10 years old. Experts say he is in trajectory of surpassing Magnus (hypothetically, if he doesn’t get bored of chess of course)

He's really, really good, but to me, what separates the GOAT tiers (Magnus, Kasparov, Bobby) from the rest is their intuition for the game. Shoutout to Karpov and Capablanca here too as almost GOAT tiers.

I think that sort of intuition is hampered by growing up in an era of engines. It remains to be seen how much of his abilities are genius and how many are insane memorization of engine lines (which is where most top super GMs fall these days).
