Maybe this one?

I think that is it, Thanks! But that may be a crop of a larger photo (that includes the chessboard). Does anyone know if there is a more complete and higher resolution version out there?
sweet that the community found what you were looking for. and sweet to see these pics. I'm a sucker for pics of Tal.

Slightly less cropped version here...

...but still no chessboard in this photo.
I am looking for a portrait (photograph) of Tal that I saw several years ago.
His face is obscured (it may be taken from behind), and he is reaching far over the chessboard (in the middle of a combination, I'm sure), and there is a copious amount of smoke in the air.
It was in the later years (unkempt grey hair).
I seem to remember it being a colour photograph, but I may be wrong.
I also seem to remember it being on his profile on chessgames.com (back in 2006-2007, most likely), but they have something different up there now.
Any help? Google image search isn't coming up with anything.
