Rzeszewski vs. Boruchowitz, Antwerp

Boruchowitz, Nicolas BEL 1 ½
Rzeszewski, Szmul POL 0 ½    ½

The eight-year old prodigy Rzeszewski, who would later move to the USA and become one of the world’s leading players, was moving through Europe giving simultaneous exhibitions. In Antwerp, a certain Mirner provided a 1000 francs purse for a two-game match against Boruchowitz. The tempo was 15 moves per hour. The same source includes the picture below.
