DESCRIPTION

Press-photo (Keystone agency) showing the World champion Mikhaïl BOTVINNIK playing against Toivo SALO (Finland) at the Olympic tournament of Amsterdam, 1954.

At the back, an interesting (because revealing) legend mentions particularly the presence of a young boy (in an added white circle) viewing with the utmost interest the boards ready to catch fire ; it would mean that at that time the attendance of chess fights by children was rather rare - not as today... 

Size of the photo : 17 x 12,5 cm.

Bright paper.  VG condition.
