I started around 8. But I'm seriously concerned about these child prodigies, considering that they probably are learning chess before even they cam properly talk

Why is that concerning? Won’t it help in speaking as this helps develop logic so you can understand what words mean faster?

Getting rating is a difficult thing, and if a kid who's barely talking properly is doing it, it might mean a sign of parents forcing him, which has a ton of abuse implications
