According to the 3rd World Chess Champion Jose Raul Capablanca, he learned the rules of the game at the age of 4 by watching his father play with friends, pointed out an illegal move by his father, and then beat him! History didn’t save that game but there is a game played by Capablanca at age 4 which is considered to be his first surviving game (September 17, 1893)! Capablanca played it against Ramon Iglesias, who played without a Queen (odds game). Capablanca won.
