Samuel Reshevsky at age 8 defeating several chess masters in France.
In Philadelphia, Clarence jr. loses to his Dad for the first time since he was 4.
Boo-Yah! in your face!!
a friend of mine was involved in one the games where Samuel Reshevsky played dozens of people at the same time. This was many years ago. He is still friendly with Reshevsky’s daughter.
In Learn Chess Fast, Reshevsky has an example in which one sacrifices the queen to set up a check take queen fork, which leads to a two castle fork, which depopulates the other side.
My Dad kicked my butt at checkers but would not learn chess. He grew up on a farm way back when and they played checkers and cribbage and other card games a lot, so he was good at those.

The only thing worse than a bad loser is a bad winner.
