A pic is worth a 1,000 words

From the great facebook site Chess in Pictures. ”IBM International Chess Tournament David Bronstein (L) plays against Levente Lengyel Amsterdam, 1968. See this game here: http://bit.ly/16DgMsG [The picture was taken after 19.Nxa5]… (Jac. de Nijs)”

I like everything about this photo! So EARTHY! The table is cluttered with non-essential items. Is that a bottle of water (or wine)? And look at Bronstein standing up , leaning on his chair! Most modern day arbiters would be aghast!
