Can you identify the GM who is playing Black and the man standing behind him?
Che!
The GM is Bush,the general behind him is Saddam…very long time ago,probably early 30s.
El Commandante Che Guevara is the kibitzer, no doubt about it. I am not sure but could the player with the black pieces be his countryman Hector Rossetto?
Mark Taimanov is the player.
Ernesto Che Guevara is the kibitzer behind.
When I first saw this picture on Chessbase, I loved it so much that I saved a copy of it. It is truly a rare one, just like the picture of Fidel Castro and Bobby Fischer playing chess.
That can’t be. I saw Che Guevara on Monty Python and it’s not the same guy.
I don’t know who they are, but look at the size of the clock they’re using, it’s huge.

With black pieces is the argentinian player Hector Rosetto, and standing behind him is the argentinian Ernesto Guevara, known as Che Guevara.
This picture was taken in Cuba.
I’m from Argentina, so I know this picture.
