For "I wonder" and "Perhaps" this is wrong, as you say.

Botvinnik said that he often made childish errors because he had NOT been a child prodigy. But is that true? Did Blackburne blunder more often than Capablanca? Well, yes.

<My grandfather’s friendship with Reshevsky extended from Reshevsky’s childhood until the 1970s, when it ended abruptly. One day, Reshevsky was in his office and my grandfather showed him a game he was playing. (Between patients, my grandfather would play postal chess and when you would come into his office, you were likely to find him studying his chess games. He had spiral bound books with tabbed cardboard chess boards in which he recorded the moves, which were exchanged on post cards. Games took months, often years.) Reshevsky suggested a move, but it didn’t sit well with my grandfather and he lost sleep over it. The next time Reshevsky was in the office, my grandfather questioned him about the consequences of the move they had discussed. Reshevsky, apparently offended at my grandfather’s presumption in questioning the move he’d suggested, exploded at him, stormed out of the office, and never spoke to my grandfather again.

Maybe that's why here in Costa Rica they talk about "migración" and "policía migratória" instead of immigration. Being a Murkan, I still tend to say "inmigración" by mistake instead of "migracíon", which reminds me of reindeer anyway.

Part of his secret is in the intro:

<He learned to play chess at the age of four. At eight years old he was ...defeating some of the country's most prominent players.>

• Exaggeratedly fiddling with items on the table top, such as cigarette or sweet/gum/candy wrappers.

• Coughing, humming or whistling when, and only when, it was the opponent’s turn to move.

• Deliberately causing a nuisance with cigarette (or pipe) smoke by chain-smoking.

• Repeatedly holding down his own clock button so that the opponent couldn’t press their button (Hamilton-Reshevsky, Lugano Olympiad 1968).

• Pressing his own clock button, without making a move, when the opponent was away from the board — or even when present.

• Pestering the opponent with multiple draw offers, in the opponent’s time, particularly if the opponent was in time trouble.

• After a loss on time, routinely but insistently complaining that the clock was faulty. • Involving bystanders for them to comment on the game.

• Refusing to shake hands after a game.

• Rather than resign, waiting outside/nearby while his own clock ran down (Fischer-Reshevsky, Sousse 1967).

• If losing to a weaker player in Round 1, abandoning the game and the tournament disputatiously (Marshall CC Championship 1934, and Rubinstein Memorial 1983).

• Apparently offering a draw then, when it was accepted by the opponent after a think, denying that he’d done so.

• Shaking hands as if to resign, but claiming a draw.

• Shaking hands as if to accept a draw, but claiming a win.

• In a simultaneous display, as the penultimate game ends, declaring—from a distance—that the one other game is a draw, and rapidly exiting the building without a further word.

• Falsifying his scoresheet in order to try to claim a draw by repetition (Reshevsky-Stahlberg, Helsinki 1952).

• Repeatedly restarting the clock violently when the opponent was stopping it only in order to summon the arbiter (Fedorowicz-Reshevsky, Lone Pine 1981).

• Complaining to the Tournament Director when a supposed pre-arranged draw agreement—itself unethical—wasn’t honoured (Benko-Reshevsky, US Championship, 1975).

I could expand this list with other questionable behaviour and wrongdoing. However, I will leave reports of Reshevsky confronting opponents in their hotel rooms, or physically fighting with them, for a later occasion perhaps—not here in this book.

the Lodz address (registration/resident’s) card below shows, or rather states, that Szajndel Rzeszewska (i.e. Reshevsky’s mother) was born in Kock in 1876. She moved to Lodz; (district) from Ozorków, 5 February 1919. (The card dates from not much later.) And now the crucial bit. Among her children are Szmul (i.e. Samuel), born 1909 in Leczyca (about 7½ miles or 12km from Ozorków). Her other listed children do seem to roughly match the brief mention of his siblings given by the young Reshevsky in the Evening Telegram of 1921 quoted earlier in this book.

...

Just to make clear and summarise... the chessplayer known as Samuel Reshevsky had an official birthdate of 26 November 1911. However, the evidence presented here points to his real birthdate being 2 years earlier in 1909. Nonetheless, because it is his official birthdate that has been in general use and widely quoted for a century, it is reasonable to persist with that. Except that now we can say with some confidence—and we should not forget to occasionally explain—that really he was all along 2 years older.

The Denker clock incident is well known. Although I served on the American Chess Foundation/ Chess in the Schools Trustee Board for many years with Arnold Denker, I never asked him about it. The incidents reported to me were from younger GMs.

He did posses a basic sense of right and wrong. You just don't agree with it because you've invented a different moral system for yourself.

After all, morals are arbitrary inventions.
