Chess trivia: Can you recognize this talented player?


Who is this prodigy?

Hello Everyone,

This is the photo of a very talented grandmaster as a a child. In the photo, he is playing chess with his father. Can you guess who this kid is? Also, you have to tell us what was his nickname.

All we can say is that he started playing chess at the age of four! Any more hints and you would be able to recognize him immediately. So, no more hints.

    The answer to that is simple I believe that that photo shows José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera known in spansh as "el Mozart del ajedrez" world champion from 1921 to 1927

    Either it's Capablanca or Paul Morphy both learned to play as kids... cannot think of anyone else...
