Polish chess prodigy and later American GM Samuel Reshevsky was born #OnThisDay in 1911.

Defeating seven world champions and winning the US championship eight times, Reshevsky is considered one of the greatest American talents ever. A tough positional player, his rivalry with Bobby Fischer caught the eyes of the world.
