Greatest Chess Photos

Helms?

(I wonder if the poor kid ever recovered from that "superfluous" crack.)

Well, this man was 3 yrs. older than Herman Helms (who edited the American Chess Bulletin and a chess column in the Brooklyn Eagle, the New York World and New York Post, but never the Philadelphia Inquirer.   This mystery man also helped write the history of chess in Philadelphia.

Did he help organize Cambridge Springs 1904?

I had to look that up.  He was an organizer but I can't find any evidence he helped organize Cambridge Springs.

The look.

Is real or fake that photo below?

Whatever it is isn't loading, except for the words "Walter Penn Shipley," which, of course, is absolutely correct!!

Thanks @ Atroz & nice photo! :-)

In this photo you'll see Carrie Marshall on the lower left and Milton Hanhauer on the lower right, but who is that instructive guy in the middle?

OK... Then how about this other instructive fellow:

Don't insult your fellow members. Mod.

Boy, somebody's getting a little full of himself...

Chernev & Reinfeld (you sure it's not the same guy? lol)

Candid composition of Jennifer, Monika and Pia.

I agree, it looks like a scene from the Defenders.

And oh yeah, Shipley I'd heard of!

I hope he's finally learned to take all the time on his clock by now...

On the left is Fred Renfield; on the right is George Shainswit, but who is that in the middle?
