Ok, I'll be that guy. Yes, the kid actually did win all these matches. Though it's not clear whether the old guys were masters, grandmasters, or just old.

The real grandmasters were the old guys we made along the way
"Twenty graybeards sitting in a square played chess yesterday in Paris against a very small boy 8 years old, and he beat them all. Among the graybeards were some of the best players in France, and one at least, whose boast it is that he drew with Capablanca, the Pan-American chess champion..."
He should have put them in a circle and mimiced the moves of the masters cross from each other, in other words, make them play against each other instead
I watched that magic special as well.
Why does the second one from the left look like putin
In Soviet Russia, chess plays you
Because if you sum up every average mug in Russia, you'll get Putin.
You're not very good spy if you have very unique and conspicuous face.
I'd easily be able to defeat half of them
I'd easily be able to be defeated by all of them.
In chess right? Right?
Yes in chess.
It is hard to move a piece when you are buried in the ground.
No in hand to hand combat you fool Jesus read the room
I would pay to see that.
I could easily defeat 600,000 babies in a chess match.
Who could've guessed
I'd get the same result.
Heartwarming story
I'm as good as American Chess Grandmaster Reshevsky!
"back in my day..."
