Story of One Photo: Wunderkind

Already at the age of 4, wunderkind Samuel Reshevsky played chess with sophisticated grand masters. As a rule, little boy always won.

At 6 he played immediately with several opponents, and at 8 his playmates were strong chess players. The little boy, endowed with exclusive abilities, amazed everyone.

The photo has been captured in 1920 during Samuel’s regular game in France. Though Reshevsky did not become a professional chess player, but an accountant, chess tricks helped him to record new victories all his life.
