Van der Linde could show Beckham a thing or two, about whacky overgrowth!

@ Greedy Pawn Grabber, Hi, good picture( #1182 ), I can only recognize young Kasparov, who is the other player_Spassky??

@ Bat girl, who are these chess players in thread 1191 and 1192?

please if you know tell me!

cool

#1182 is Kasparov playing former world champion, Vasily Smyslov.
#1191 is Boris Spassky with Larisa, his wife at the time, and his son Vasya.
#1192 is Tigran Petrosian with his son Vartan.

Do you have Ivanchuk?

I'll delete my post if you've already got it.

Can you find Chucky in post #1135?

Center right looks like typical Chucky body-language... but the hair-line doesn`t match. Bottom left?

Center right would be Lev Polugaevsky.

At least none of them are sitting on their hands.

Some great pics last few pages. Thanks to everyone.

Bottom left is Ivanchuk.

thousand times thanks for teaching me some of the best chess players in the past. 

Couldn't Petrosian let his son play white?

I really should contribute here, I have lots of old chessbooks with pics that are probably difficult to find. Just have to go scan them somewhere.
