Here we can see the controversial character of Nimzowitsch:in the background ,he's the only who doesn't care about the photo and seems like he didn't wanted to be immortalized..................instead his ''good enemy'' Tarrasch is just like I imagined him, with great moustaches and this perfect doctor attitude.
