Non - Chess celebrity who played chess..

When Bogart was approached to make the film, just after Jose had died, he was drunk; and asked who was in it.
When he heard Paul and Claude were in the film he thought they had said Capablanca and insisted he played the great man, but Paul got that part.

Capa was of such charismatic personality, no wonder ,Bogart forgot he was dead!

There are actually games of Lenin ! He was not very strong. The foto is taken on the island Capri, where some russians went after the (failed) revolution of 1905.
