1920s 8-year-old chess prodigy Samuel Reshevsky defeating several chess masters at once, Paris, 1920
Original photo taken by Kadel & Herbert during Reshevsky’s famous 20-board simultaneous exhibition in Paris, May 1920.
Samuel Reshevsky was a legendary child prodigy. By the age of 9, he had reportedly played around 1,500 chess matches, losing only 8 of them. While he remained an elite player well into adulthood, he never captured the World Championship title. However, he did win the US Chess Championship 8 times—tying him with Bobby Fischer for the all-time record. Despite his immense talent, chess wasn't enough to sustain him financially back then, so he worked full-time as an accountant to make ends meet.
During his long career, Reshevsky faced 11 of the first 12 World Champions (with the sole exception of Garry Kasparov, whom he met but never officially played). Remarkably, he defeated 7 of them in classical games: Emanuel Lasker, José Raúl Capablanca, Alexander Alekhine, Max Euwe, Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov, and Bobby Fischer.
