ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The young chess whiz Oliver Boydell used the time during the pandemic to write a book analyzing 25 great chess games, going back to 1851 — and to learn to ride a bike. ⁣ In his book — titled “He’s Got Moves: 25 Legendary Chess Games (As Analyzed by a Smart Kid)” — he pulls apart Paul Morphy’s legendary queen sacrifice at the opera house in Paris, in 1858, and Bobby Fischer’s unfathomable comeback against Robert Byrne, a New York Times chess columnist, in New York, in 1963. ⁣ ⁣ Most of these games were played well before Oliver was even born. He is 10.⁣ ⁣ Oliver has won titles at the city, state and national levels. He wakes up early on the weekends to practice chess online with his teacher in India and has another lesson in the afternoon with his local teacher (though these days they meet via Skype). Before the pandemic, he would play over-the-board chess in Washington Square Park and Union Square Park, or at the Marshall Chess Club, on 10th Street (his favorite). Life isn’t all chess, though. Oliver takes breaks for video games, chocolate chip pancakes and bike rides.⁣ ⁣ And yes, Oliver liked the Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit,” with one reservation.⁣ ⁣ “It was quite accurate on how someone might become a great chess player, but maybe there would be more downfalls,” he said. “There was just the one player who kept beating her, and then the one championship that she lost. A real-life player usually suffers a lot more than just two opponents.”⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in our bio to read more this young chess phenom and to see how he spends his Sundays.
