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

Portorož, Slovenia, maybe?

Yes, Portorož or Russia, Portorož is more probable.

17/04/2005 - Yesterday afternoon Frederic Friedel (ChessBase) spoke by phone with Garry Kasparov to know how he was and how he lived it the attack with chessboard against his "valuable" head. Kasparov confirmed the correctness of the details of our story said the injury bothered him but which was originally more or less well.

Cool ! This is probably the notorious game Tal - Benko where Benko put on dark glasses for not to be hypnotized.

The seven on the left look like chess players. Chucky looks like some guy who sneaked in, to get at the free buffet.
