Hah!
Sammy Reshevsky was a prodigy and was one of the best U.S. chess players (perhaps the best) until Bobby Fischer took center stage in 1957.
When he was an old man he advertised in Chess Life (magazine) to play people in postal chess (for a fee). He actually listed his home phone number. As a teen (in the 1980s), I called him up to ask how much he charged. I assume his wife answered and then she called him to the phone. I asked how much he charged per game and I believe he said it was either $16 or $32.
