        I don’t think it’s Fine. Fine was born in 1914 and this picture must be from 1930 or later. The collar style looks much older than 1930.

        Moderator, there is no consensus on who is in the photos, and it has been 36 hours since the last guess. Before this post slides into archival oblivion, can you provide the answer?

        Can those who run this board show flexibility and provide the answer as the comments show no consensus on the answer?

        On the left is GM Robert Hess in an “old time photo” costume.

        No, anon 11:32, it’s a young IM Jeremy Silman, not GM Hess.

        You’re all wrong. The fellow on the left is the young Laszlo Polgar.
