I'm stunned that Fischer touches Karpov
Who are these Grandmasters?Can you name them all?
Sort:
It looks as though he's trying to protect him from a concealed dagger in Smyslov's sleeve.

Maybe it's a stupid question, but why Kramnik has his eyes covered? Does it have something to do with Blindfold simuls?

Lasker looks pretty calm, and Kaspy looks worried. I think Lasker is going to win the game. Perhaps Fischer is telling Karpov to stand up, so he and Smyslov can have a game next.
Fischer, Smyslov, and Euwe are six footers and yet Petrosian seems to tower over these guys? Fischer is grabbing Karpov by the shoulder and telling the guy --- You dont belong here. You're a crook, a cheater, a low life scumbag and get out of my seat you light weight! Fischer is also grabbing Smyslov's arm who is trying to reach out and slap Botvinnik. Fischer is telling Smyslov---STOP THE HATE!!!
Judith is looking at Fischer with a hungry look in her eyes! Euwe is thinking---What am I doing here?? Capablanca is telling anyone who will listen---Yes, I have no chess books.
Alekhine is peeing under the table on Kasparov shoe. Kramnik is shouting please lead me to the toilet---lead me to the toilet!!! My IBS is kicking in!!!
I don't think that can be quite right.
Take a good look at Alekhine's expression; he's just squeaked one out, silent but violent.

Because sometimes he overlooks obvious threats:
I got them all apart from the guy 2nd tofrom the left but I guess he doesn't count if it's the artist.
I also didn't recognise Tal from the face, but I realised it must be him because of the cigarette 
(didn't notice the hand)

My guess is the artist or a close relative.
Looks like Etienne Bacrot...
Yes, that's probably the artist. The whole painting is so full of symbolism that it would have been strange if he hadn't included himself somehow.
The camera he holds is highlighted. That kind of approach is a favourite contrivance for artists. It implants a hoax for a sense of realism into the painting, as if the artist says "I was there, I took a photo and made the picture! Bad thing Capablanca was in front of me with that hat, I couldn't watch the match. I'm angry with him 
"
Very nice painting indeed.
The Polgar looks more like Susan than Judit. She's the WWCH representative. 
nice
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bobby

Karpov is stunned that Kasparov touched his Knight but now intends to move his King.
