I'm curious... is Hugh Alexander considered more Irish or more English?

Maybe this guy and Carl were distant relatives?

All I know is that monogrammed bath towels for Hugh will not come cheap.

No I meant the mystery man with the big ears and Schlechter...

Oh, it's Marshall!

Of course it is! He was 16 at the time.

A whole bunch of really good playerss here, how many can you get?

Looks like Marshall again in the front row, but can't be sure.

Marsh is 3rd from the right, second row.

Dang, that isn't Alekhine, is it?! (fourth from the left, back row)

yup

Right again

So it's some tourney from around 1910 with like 100 guys in it...

Carlsbad 1911

I must say that the dressing standards have fallen

Would you trust this man with your insurance?

Who is this forlorn-looking gentleman?

Is he forlorn because his new bride glued the pieces to the board?

Could be.

. . . but probably not.
