@aleksandrpondios Yes that's film footage of furman= not a photo, I got that from a different Russian TV documentary. You are right, he is much older in the film footage than he was in 1954. However, I thought people might want to see as much live footage of the masters as possible. And yes, the Russian TV show on Korchnoi could be mistaken. So any further information from anyone is welcome= is it Stein or Korchoi? Post here if you have an opinion, or some concrete information.
@aleksandrpondios It does look like Stein. I just checked the source file I got the footage from- it's a Russian TV documentary, the segment is discussing Korchnoi at a tournament in Leningrad. I still think it's Korchnoi in the footage- notice he is missing his upper right first molar, which he didn't fix decades. However, anyone else please give their opinion on this. I will try to find out more. If we do identify this as Stein, I will have to post a correction.

@isedairi Yes, that's Viktor Korchnoi, not Stein, although he does look like Stein in that film clip.
