Who is the player on the left?
Hello Everyone!
It’s chess trivia time again. Can you recognize the player on the left?
Here are some hints: This player was taught by
Siegbert Tarrasch and though, never became world champion, was as good as any!
A famous quote: “Against Menchik, when she was world champion, I had a won game, but I found the three stupidest moves you could think of and lost.”—New Yorker, September 19, 1964.
