"A game of chess has three phases: the opening, where you hope you stand better; the middlegame, where you think you stand better; and the ending, where you know you stand to lose."

🔵 About Samyel Reshevsky
🔹 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 the greatest American player in the long period between Pillsbury and Fischer.
Reshevsky was tremendously strong in matches, and the Soviets made sure he never got the chance to play Botvinnik in a match. He played eleven of the first twelve world champions, and drew a match against Fischer at the age of 49. His one weakness as a player was his time trouble. He used up so much of his time in the early stages of a game that he was often short of time at the end. This probably cost him the Candidates tournament in 1953.
📚 Reshevsky learned to play chess when he was about 4 years old. A child prodigy, he gave exhibitions at age 6 and achieved master strength by the time he was about 9. He was brought with his family to the United States in 1920; shortly thereafter his chess activity was restricted until he had completed his formal education. In 1933 he received a degree in accounting from the University of Chicago, and in 1935 he resumed serious international chess. His style of play was tenacious and resourceful, particularly on defense. He wrote two major books, Reshevsky on Chess (1948) and How Chess Games Are Won (1962).
