How many players can you name in this picture?
Keres, Benko, unknown (with Glasses), Fischer, unknown (demoboard boy)
from 1959 it looks
This looks like Keres-Fischer, from Bled 1959. Benko is one of the observers. I’m not sure about the other observer – maybe Olafsson?
Looks like Keres versus Fischer, Benko is standing. I’m sure about Fischer and Benko.
Hi, I can definitely name the players – Paul Keres and Bobby Fischer, about the onlookers I`m not sure
It’s the 1st round (September 7) of Bled 1959. Keres and Fischer playing, Benko and the guy moving the pieces at the demonstration board watching
I just recognize Bobby Fischer and Paul Keres at the table, but who are the other two players standing in the background? Maybe one is Vassily Smyslov?
Fisher plays with the black pieces and Spassky is the guy standing without glasses.
Keres and young Fishcer playing…
Benko kibitzes… and the other?…

Paul Keres, Pal Benko, Bobby Fischer
keres benko fischer.I don’t know the man standing next to benko
Based on the sign on the side of the table, the person playing black is either “Eischer” or “Fischer”.
Paul Keres – Robert James Fischer

If Fischer was born today and could train with computers he would be rated 2900.
It’s Bled 1959. Paul Keres and Robert Fischer playing, Pal Benkoe and Miroslav Filip watching.
anybody worked out who the other person is on the picture?
