ahhhh i shoulda looked it up first :)

I wasn't aware that Slater had been fined. Have you a link to show that he was fined? I've followed Jim Slater's career for decades and he has always struck me as a thoroughly honourable person especially so given the secondary banking crisis and the fallout from that.

Better than a link, here a newspaper clipping.

thanks. I have to say this is the first time I've learnt of this.

Mikhail Tal playing with his daughter Zhanna

Wonderful!

Even his daughter gets "the stare"!

Nah, he looks like he's smiling, so it can't really be his infamous stare...

I still remember him "smiling" (briefly) at me in a simul, just before he delivered the coup de grace.

Yes, MT looks like he's enjoying seeing his daughter thinking about her move! A very nice warm photo.

I like this one,too, with young Kasparov ( may be already posted )

And only one more - 1959 year , was it posted before ?

Bobby looks pretty relaxed in that photo. Unusual to see Fischer being, to a degree, tactile

1920

Here are two photos of the same players, David Bronstein and Andor Liilienthal. The first is from 1946 and the second from 47 years later.

Great Story!!

Fischer was a frequent visitor to the Lilenthal household when Bobby was in exile in Hungary. Subsequently they fell out because Bobby believed that Lilenthal had betrayed him when he made reference to a third party about a proposed match deal after the 1992 Spassky match.

Frank Brady's book alludes to this.

I only know it is 1958, but where is he ?

"Hey, is that a camera or a radiation gun?"

I also think the place can be Russia.
