San Remo, January 1930. Two great names at the chessboard: Savielly Tartakower & Akiba Rubinstein.
Evidently a posed photo; in their encounter from the tournament itself, Rubinstein had the white pieces.

Did you know? In 1972, Boris Spassky applauded his own opponent after Game 6 of the World Championship. He stood and clapped for Fischer's brilliance alongside the audience.

It remains one of the greatest displays of sportsmanship in chess history. ♟️
