🔘 Samuel Reshevsky
🔘 Polish- American chess grandmaster
♦️ Samuel Herman Reshevsky was a Polish chess prodigy and later a leading American chess grandmaster. He was never a full-time chess professional. He was a strong contender for the World Chess Championship from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s: he tied for third place in the 1948 World Chess Championship tournament, and tied for second in the 1953 Candidates Tournament. He was an eight-time winner of the US Chess Championship. An outstanding match player throughout his career, Reshevsky excelled at positional play, and could be a brilliant tactician when required. He took a long time over his opening moves, and often found himself in time pressure, but this sometimes unsettled his opponent more than it did Reshevsky.

Happy Birthday to William (born Wilhelm) Steinitz yesterday on May 17 (or it could be May 14 as the tombstone says, or May 18 as other sources say). He was born in 1836 (or 1835) in Prague, Kingdom of Bohemia. He was undisputed chess champion of the world from 1886 to 1894.
