        Nothing but guessing here. Left to right:

        1. Don’t know
        2. William Lombardy (playing white)?
        3. Pal Benko
        4. Max Euwe (playing black)

        4. Euwe is correct. The other 3 are not.

        Best wishes,

        Just found it. 1950 Olympiad in Dubrovnik. Unzicker on White. It was a draw. I’ll let others name the rest. (That sure looked like Benko.)
