The more melodic side of Tigran:
This photo was taken at the 11th annual USSR-Yugoslavia match (USSR won -Korchnoi, fresh from his victory at Leningrad, was the individual winner-, but they had quite a team) at Budva in 1967.
Petrosian, the minstrel, wasn't a participant but rather a guest of the Yugoslavs.

He could be a one man band! Singing (or rather roaring) accompanied by his own guitar playing.
Lovely photo, thanks for stopping in and sharing, batgirl!
