	Samuel Reshevsky
		In 1920 Reshevsky was already touring the capitals of Europe to display his skill, and the tiny boy mowed down the opposition in a series of simultaneous exhibitions.
		Reshevsky's career as a prodigy ended in 1924 when it was decided that his formal education was long overdue.
		Reshevsky's style of play was that of a tough and determined positional player who could nevertheless play the most brilliant tactical chess if the need arose.

Gordon, 1997 McFarland & Co., Hardcover, English Figurine Notation, 406pp., $65.00 The American Grandmaster Samuel Reshevsky was one of the great players in the history of the game.
		Reshevsky took part in some of the most famous and important events ever held in the history of chess.
		Reshevsky acted in these events and at times was acted on by them." This makes for good reading, although the emphasis the author places (or fails to place) on certain events is curious.

	The chess games of Samuel Reshevsky
		Samuel Herman Reshevsky (Schmul Rzeszewski) was born November 26, 1911 in Ozorkow, Poland.
		A meeting of the six prospective contestants (Euwe, Fine, Reshevsky, Botvinnik, Keres and Smyslov as decided by the FIDE and sanctioned by the Dutch Federation) was arranged in Moscow during the U.S.A.-USSR match.
		Reshevsky was possibly the most profound child prodigy ever seen in chess, going from an obscure Polish background with no training in chess, and suddenly began giving simuls at age 6 that attracted enough attention for Rubinstein himself to declare that "he will be World Champion someday"

		Reshevsky indessen wurde von Auftritt zu Auftritt geschleift wie der junge Mozart oder Menuhin.
		Reshevsky erwies sich als der bedächtigste der großen Meister und geriet ständig in Zeitnot.
		Nach seinem großen Triumph in Margate 1935, wo Reshevsky sogar Capablanca hinter sich ließ, gab es keinen Zweifel mehr, daß er zu den stärksten Spielern seiner Zeit gehörte.

		On November 26, 1911, Samuel Herman Reshevsky was born in Ozorkov, Poland.
		At age six he became a chess professional and for seventy years he was a force on the international chess scene.

		A draw that he claims he was ordered to play yet here he is saying Reshevsky had "no chance to take first", if that's so there was no reason for him to be ordered to draw.
		Reshevsky was trying to beat Taimanov, but could not.
		If nobody was worried because Reshevsky was "just a guy who makes draws" there would again be no reason to ask Bronstein to draw with Smyslov.

		Born Szmul Rzeszewski, he learned to play at age four and was soon acclaimed as a child prodigy (a chess prodigy).
		His international career began in 1935 with first place at the Margate (England) tournament where he beat, among others, former world champion José Raúl Capablanca.
		That sometimes unsettled Reshevsky's opponents but at other times resulted in blunders on his part.

		This time the legendary American Champion Samuel Reshevsky comes to life in a book subtitled: A Compendium of 1768 Games with Diagrams, Crosstables, Some Annotations, and Indexes.

		Samuel Reshevsky stuck with chess after losing two games to Vasily Smyslov but never got a title match.
		Reshevsky, alas, didn't know his defense had been discredited in three key wartime games: Cortlever-Euwe, Amsterdam 1942; Boleslavsky-Ragozin, Moscow 1943; Boleslavsky Botvinnik, Sverdlovsk 1943.
		Reshevsky, who had taken about an hour and a half for the first 23 moves, found to his dismay that Smyslov had used exactly one minute!

	TIME.com: Champion Chessman -- Jan. 18, 1943 -- Page 1
		If thin-haired, bespectacled, 31-year-old Reshevsky lived in present-day Russia—where chess is the national pastime and people jam the streets to watch the moves of championship matches on giant dummy boards—he would be a national hero.
		But Sam Reshevsky was fortunate enough to come to the attention of the late great Philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, who made him give up exhibition chess at the age of 13 so he could get an education.
		Today Reshevsky is one of the world's recognized Grand Masters.* He has crossed the Atlantic four times to compete, and in no tournament has he ever failed to win a prize (first, second or third).

		In addition to eight players named above, Samuel Reshevsky was seeded.
		Four qualifying tournaments were held in New York City, from which came Simonson and Samuel Factor, Denker and Weaver Adams; George Treysman and Sidney Bernstein; Harold Morton and Milton Hanauer.
		Reshevsky was Polish and could barely read English (that’s a joke) so he then had nine wins and two draws and won the tournament with 11.5- 3.5 Simonson, only 21 years old, was second with ll-4, but never again played so well.

		Two of the items which he submitted tie in so well with the Reshevsky saga that they have been extracted from the Borochow material, and they are presented here.
		In 1921 I was referee at Samuel Reshevsky's exhibition at Hamburger Department Store (now the May Co.), in Los Angeles, when Sammy age 9, was playing 12 simultaneously.
		Your editor considers this item by Harry Borochow highly significant, and indicative not only of the nine-year-old Reshevsky's fantastic ability to evaluate a position, but also to demonstrate tactically the correctness of those evaluations.
