Alexander Alekhine, 1924

I like when girls play chess.

Montparnasse, Paris

Lenin (First Soviet Leader) plays chess. Gorky (Great Russian Writer) watches.

This is the authentic picture of V.I.Lenin playing chess with Gorky at Capri in 1908.

 In the picture Gorky does not play, he watches from the side.

Chess.commies in the Workers Paradise.  Or is it Winston Smith and Emmanuel Goldstein in the Chestnut Tree Cafe Tournament?

You are absolutely correct jpd303... This is an obvious case of communist sabotage and assasination cover-up... The staged photo is clearly the work of the KGB's amateur theatrics department.

Yes, chess.comrade fleiman, you are correct -- in the actual famous photo V.I.Lenin (on left) is playing A.Bogdanov (r.) and Gorky in hat is kibitzing. And yet there is one Lenin-Gorky (0-1) game in the database -- 1908, Capri, ECO B03 Alekhine's Defense [sic].
