        If you look carefully at the background, its trivial to tell its Botvinnik.

        Well, I cant tell who the player is. But if you look carefully at the reflection in the window, his opponent is none other that the famous Mikhail Tal!

        The caption reads: “Don’t stare at the hand…dont stare at the hand…”

        Alot of buffoons on this thread. Not one of you recognizes Kasparov, playing a game against Judit Polgar??

        “Oh no! That drops a rook! Wait, if I move my hand back really, really fast….and say J’adoube….yeah, that might work!”

        Kramnik- Oh no Topalov won the match. This means I might have to play him in another match to win the world championship. More sagas to come. Does it ever end?

        Thank you all for this funny threat! But you are wrong, aren’t you?

        Of course it is Kamsky:
        “I will win my face back soon like Kramnik did after the Anand match.”

        okay

        It’s Susan Polgar.

        “Don’t I look so much like Kramnik when I hide my face?”

        It’s really Kramnik though.

        What a lousy set – the rooks are barely taller than pawns and the black pieces aren’t black.

        It’s Topalov saying to microphone with a lower voice “Hey Dana what will I do how pawn was moving? One further and take diagonal or one diagonal and take further?”

        Danailov replies: “Oh that is a difficult question I will turn you back after asking Rybka!”
