Youthful chess prodigy of eight debuts in Berlin
A boy named R. Rzeschewski, eight years old, played 20 plus games simultaneously in Berlin’s Belin Chess Society, won 18, lost one, drew the rest, and even drew blindfolded against master Kurt von Bardeleben after 20 moves. He completed the five hour session without fatigue, slept well after, and impressed visitors with his memory and strategic corrections. He is predicted to become a world class master with proper stamina. Beginning today at Atlas Theater, The Thirteenth Chair will be shown for two days.
