Chess Wizard To Arrive Monday
The 9-year-old chess wizard, Samuel Rzcschewiski, champion of two continents, has thrown his hat in the ring to all chess players of Los Angeles. He will arrive in that city Monday. That night he will play all comers at the Los Angeles Athletic club.
Twenty-Five Opponents
Twenty-five contenders, young and old, many of whom have been playing chess for years and modestly admit they know a few tricks of the game themselves, will be arrayed against the boy player, who will stand in the center of a row of tables and play all opponents at the same time.
Among those who will contest the lads championship will be Donald H. Mugridge, 16-year-old youth, who is regarded as somewhat of a prodigy by local players. Another contestant will be Miss Helen Julian of Long Beach. Stasch Mlotkowski and Dr. R. B. Griffith, who are regarded as two of the best players in the country, also will match their skill against the uncanny ability of the Polish lad.
On the set of “The Three Musketeers,” Samuel Reshevsky plays a game of chess with Douglas Fairbanks while Charlie Chaplin watches, 1921.
