@WillShade What was his rating?

[dedemaass]

I recognized José Raoul Capablanca, Carlos Torre Repetto, Rudolf Spielmann, Frank James Marshall, and Richard Réti, too. Ernst Grünfeld, Frederick Dewhurst Yates, Solomon Gotthilf and Alexander Iljin-Zhenevsky are said to be pretended in that Film, too, but I couldn't identify them. Did you see them? However, it's nice to see these good old-fashioned chess stars, isn't it?

Wow didn't know Frank Marshall was in this too. How cool!

@borjannemanja

He fled from the Sovier Union and was an "unperson" at that time.

Brilliant achievement. Only where Alekhine?
