Greatest Chess Photos

I'm going out on a limb here but I'm guessing that's George Jay Gould

Hey, that was my joke! (such as it was).

I've just learned that Silence is Goulden.

and "All that chitters is not Gould"

For anyone interested, I posted a chronological photomontage of Frank Marshall on my BLOG.

Probably not among the greastest chess photos, but this October 1945 picture anticipates chessbase's cheesecake photo-essays by a half century (the ladies pictured were film actresses from that time) :

great chess photo, batgirl !!!

Is that the Julie London from "Cry me a river" fame?

A very Fine exhibition:

This photo is of a 110 bd. simul given by Reuben Fine at the National Press Club in Washington D.C.  on May 3, 1942.  His final score after 9 hrs. 25 mins. was +87=17-6.

Each of the six winners received a copy of Fine's "Basic Chess Endings,"  while each of the 17 who managed to draw received a copy of Fine's book, "Chess the Easy Way."

Below is a close up. The man directly to the left of Fine is D. H. Mugridge, President of the Washington Divan and one of the recipients of "Basic Chess Endings."

On July 29, 1942, Fine played in an unusual match that pitted a team of the 1942 memeber of the Washington Divan against the 1941 members.  Fine's 1942 team won 15.5 - 11.5.  Fine beat Mugridge (shown above) in 22 moves.

On top of the World Trade Center Kasparov vs. Anand PR stunt!

nice

Imagine if that was Beliavsky vs the combined might of Karpov and Tal. LOL

conservative & technical + bold & speculative

Has this one of Karpov v Kasparov been posted?  Not the best photograph but I've not seen many of Gary at this age.
