“You did great”, “Fantastic stuff” – Some Liverpool fans surprised with starlet’s performance against chess champion

Trent Alexander-Arnold

The Liverpool youngster recently tried to take on World Champion Magnus Carlsen and the Independent reports Alexander-Arnold didn’t last long against the Dane.

The match lasted just 17 moves, but the report adds Trent did better than Bill Gates, who lasted just nine moves, five years back.

The Liverpool starlet claimed he was “proud” of the effort and added that he inherited the love for chess from his father.

The youngster has made a name for himself in recent years and has replaced the more experienced Nathaniel Clyne in the Liverpool starting XI.

The 20-year-old didn’t feature in the draw against Manchester City but posted an image against one of the best chess players ever.

Suffice to say, some Liverpool fans were surprised that Trent played the game and shared their reactions on Twitter.
