Sammy Reshevsky was probably one of the most talented chess kids in history. He learned to play chess at 4 and was soon acclaimed as a child prodigy. At age 8, he was beating many accomplished players with ease and giving simultaneous exhibitions.

▪️ Richard Teichmann
▪️ German chess master
♦️ Richard Teichmann (1868-1925) was a German player, born in Lehnitzsch Sach-Altenburg, Germany, and one of the top players in the world at the beginning of the 20th century. He was blind in his right eye and wore an eye patch when playing in chess tournaments. He is sometimes known as “Richard the Fifth” because he took 5th place in at least 10 major tournaments. He is often quoted as saying “Chess is 99% tactics.” He was a language teacher.
🔸 Full name: Richard Teichmann
🔸 Country : Germany
🔸 Born : 24 December 1868
Lehnitzsch bei Altenburg, Thuringia
🔸 Died: 15 June 1925 (aged 56)
Berlin, Germany
♦️ In Karlsbad 1911, Teichmann scored a convincing win, crushing Akiba Rubinstein and Carl Schlechter with the same line of the Ruy Lopez. Edward Lasker recounted the witty way in which Teichmann demonstrated the Schlechter win in his book Chess Secrets I learned from the Masters, and generally admired Teichmann's mastery.
♦️ Throughout his chess career Teichmann was handicapped by chronic eye trouble. He had only one eye, and eye trouble caused him to withdraw from the 1899 London Tournament after only four rounds.
♦️ Teichmann had a plus score against Alexander Alekhine (+3−2=2), drawing a match in 1921 when Alekhine was regarded as a world title challenger to José Raúl Capablanca. He even won as Black against Alekhine at Berlin 1921:👇🏼👇🏼
