  Breunor: Thanks for the photo link Whiteshark! Any idea what year it was taken?
Dec-10-18  whiteshark: <Breunor> The photo can be seen on a 16-page chess training material of Sefc (Methodological Youth Training Sheets), which was compiled somehow in 1976. So in 1976 or earlier. https://www.chess.sk/files/subory/m...
