CHESS WONDER LAD HERE

Samuel Rzeschewski, the lad who
has been astonishing and defeating so
many older masters of the chess
board in Europe and who recently be-
gan his triumphant tour in America
appeared in Minneapolis during the
week, on Wednesday afternoon at
Dayton's, and on Thursday evening at
the Athletic Club. Sammy's speciality
is playing a group of rivals SIM
ultaneously. He makes his move at
one board, passes on to the next play
er, making the rounds of the boards,
to return to each player. Throughout
his performance he moves, calmly,
carefully, yet with apparently little
concern or worry. Thus far, his rec
ord is a very small number of lost
games; almost as few draws; and a
vast majority of victories. 1t is in
teresting to see how already there
are many stories about this Jewish
chess WIZARD, Sammy, or Schmuelik
as he is popularity called, is very en-
phatic about wanting to be known
as Jew (not as Polish lad as many
Of the newspapers term him). He is
strict in his observance of the dietary
laws, and insists on strictly kosher
food. Thus on a recent visit to De-
troit, where he played, he left on
Thursday for Cleveland, because in
that city he had rabbi acquaintance
whose home he was sure was kosher
enough to meet his exacting taste.
When Sammy doesn't read or study,
he sings. He has a very fine voice
and sings fairly we'll in Yiddish, He

brew and Italian. He especially likes
to sing hymnal songs. Sammy is a
great friend of Cantor Joseph Rosen-
blatt, whom he calls "Reb Yosele."
Sammy likes automobile riding best
of all. He says he likes automobile
riding almost as much as chess play
ing. And he knows every make of
automobile.
Sammy, or Shmuelik, as he is called
at home, came here from New York,
accompanied by his secretary and
manager, Charles Azenberg. His gen
eral appearance reveals nothing ex-
traordinary about him. He is a nor
NAL, healthy child, who will celebrate
his ninth birthday on May 26.
The parental grandfather of the
young chess player was a Hebrew
scholar and writer. His maternal
grandfather was Rabbi in a small
town in Poland. But none Of the an
cestors or members Of Sammy's fam
ily have ever revealed signs of genius.
The son of Jacob Rzeschewski, Sam
my, has three brothers and two sis
tiers, none of whom are above the
average mentality, Sammy being the
only one to have distinguished himself
in the particular manner that he has.
Previous History Unusual
DR.. A. l.. Jacoby and members OF
his staff, of the psychopthic clinic at
the Municipal Courts Building, tested
the boy of Detroit. DR.. Jacoby de-
clared the previous history Of the boy
to be unusual in that he has never
attended school, his education having
been entirely in the hands of tutor.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-05-20

During the test the little fellow put
tered about with blocks and puzzles,
revealing unusual concentration and
attention, but refusing help whenever
he found moves difficult.
DR.. Jacoby found him to be equal
to the average 9-year-old child in gen
eral intelligence, with special ability
in the memory field and persistence of
attention, which is, according to the
doctor, very unusual for child Of his
age. The doctor said he believed his
unusual ability in playing chess is
''largely due to his unusual memory
and to his ability to concentrate un-
usually within a narrow field"
Wears Medals
Sammy's chest was covered with IL
of the ID medals he has received in
different parts of the world in the
past two or three years. The most
important medals he received from
the International Chess Club at Palais
Royale, Paris, and the U. S. Military

statement in answer is most compre-
hensive one.
