Im sure you like to know who is this amazing boy? Where is from? The name?
This is 8-year old Samuel Reshevsky defeating several chess masters at once in France, 1920. The best in that time
Reshevsky was a child prodigy who by the age of 9 had supposedly played 1,500 chess matches, losing only 8 of them. He remained a great chess player well into adulthood, however, he never became a world champion despite winning the US Chess Championship 8 times, tying him with Bobby Fischer for the all-time record.
He was also not able to live full-time as a chess player and had to work as an accountant to make ends meet.
During his chess career, Reshevsky played 11 of the first 12 World Champions (with the exception of Garry Kasparov who he met but never played against). Reshevsky defeated 7 World Champions: Lasker, José Raúl Capablanca, Alexander Alekhine, Max Euwe, Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov, and Bobby Fischer.
