Bobby vs Castro
With all the famous guy's
Reb, is the guy on the right Leinier Dominguez (Cuba)? As for the guy on the left, I'm tempted to say Radjabov, but I don't know if he's the top player in his country (is he Azerbaijani or Russian? If he's from Az. I'd say it's him).
Also, here's a photo of Morphy playing Loewenthal:
That looks like a nice set they are playing on and look how they are dressed ! I could never sit at a board for 4 + hours dressed like that !! You ?
GM & US Chess Champion 1909-1936

Hey Reb, appropos of the Alekhine death pic, have you ever had the desire to go to that hotel in Portugal and seek out "the spot"?
Maybe they're holding that big peg set at the desk for that special someone?
I have been to the hotel in Estoril where Alekhine died, its not far from where I live in Lisbon. I didnt ask about the peg set though, maybe I should go back and ask? There is some conspiracy surrounding his death and it seems taboo to talk about it. Few here believe the official version.
