Good Luck.

Here the 50th Anniversary cover from Chess Life in 1989  (click image for full size).

I had some trouble naming some of the players represented here because I don't think they are all that recognizable.   Fortunately, I have the key.

Here's a numbered facsimile.  How many can you name?

cool

I think I see Robert Byrne,Sammy Reshevsky and Pal Benko.

Nr 2  Donald Trump 

The numbers are there for a reason.

I recognize 1,2, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16

Number 6 is Leontxo Gracía?

#3 is GM José Rafael Gascón?

I think there is 10 or 11 I can name.

I see a beethoven

I see magnus carlsen.

cagnus marlsen

Canus maren.

Dog maren (canus is dog in latin, only thing I remembered )

God maren

14. Yasser Seirawan

13. Larry Christiansen

11. Pal Benko

5. Larry Evans

2. Reuban Fine (those muttenchops!)

And 6, of course, is Lurch from "The Addams Family."
