Can you name the five famous players in this picture?
Bonus questions: Where and when was this picture taken?
Tigraan Petrosian in the middle and Boris Spassky on the right. Spassky looks like a teenager in this picture while the others are surely men over their twenties
Left-to-Right: Boleslavsky, Smyslov, Petrosian, Tolush, Spassky.
WHEN? – That is the question! Perhaps in 1956-1957 (Spassky looks under 20 on the photo)
