Taken at Bucharest 1953. Tolush won, probably the greatest triumph of
his career.


Wow. You guys are good. Bucharest 1953 was one of the first foreign
tournaments in which several Soviet chess players participated. The
five Soviet players in the picture finished at the top, along with
Laszlo Szabo. Tolush gained the title of international grandmaster and
his pupil (Spassky) became an international master.

1. Tolush 14
2. Petrosian 13
3. Smyslov 12˝
4. Spassky 12
5. Boleslavsky 12
6. Szabó,L 12
