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).

 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? Wink

 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? Wink There is some conspiracy surrounding his death and it seems taboo to talk about it. Few here believe the official version.
