        Up Left is Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, Willie Nelson in the lower left and Bob Dylan in the lower right. I can’t make out the face on the person on the upper right. The hair looks like Elvis…

        The upper right guy reminds me of the person who played Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrain of Dukes of Hazzard, back when he acted in TV and movie westerns.

        Bottom left: Goldilocks playing with the big bad wolf. 🙂

        Bob Dylan looks like a kamikaze player – rolling his queenside pawns even before developing any piece.
