And we're working our way back to greatness - well done owlyboly!
(Guy with Pillsbury in post 1163 has a dollop of dances with wolves and maybe just a pinch of poacher.)
Great pics here. Thanks to all who contributed.

There is a great short story by fantasy writer Fritz Leiber called "Midnight By the Morphy Watch". I never knew there was an actual watch.
Damn, somebody beat me to it! Written by this fellow...
...who was a rated expert btw (or so they tell me), and who once won the Santa Monica Open. He wrote another story called "The 64-Square Madhouse" featuring a number of drolly disguised GMs (Reuben Fine as Simon Great, for example)...and tour-guided by the namesake of Tartakover.
Fritz the Younger in addition had a small part in the 1937 Camille with Greta Garbo (where he plays a messenger delivering a missive to the legendary Swede), and he features rather prominently in that 1970 epic of weirdness, Equinox.
His dad btw was quite the little thespian as well. Among many other characters on stage and screen, he played Franz Liszt in the 1943 version of Phantom of the Opera (the one with Claude Rains in the title role).
i realy like this picture... Korchnoi look sooo big and Karpov so small. maybe it is already posted but i have not, yet, seen all the great pictures :)

who is the one on the right?
That is the greatest chess player of all times - Vassily Smyslov - who is giving Kasparov a lesson.
What?

I'm a fan of the female form, as much as the next man. However, those images didn't really fit the title and in fact, cheapened my viewing.
I'm glad that they're gone, just my opinion.

Yes. The topic is greatest chess photos, and while skin and breasts may be great, and even on chess players, they don't add up to great chess photos.
Not appropriate.
At least in this thread.
Inappropriate? From 'dogs? Wait 'till Tony reads that!
Inappropriate bigpoison, that is correct. Anyone who knows about being in command knows that what is acceptable to the men isn't always acceptable to the women; and vice versa.
