    Tigran Petrosian at Moskow. Petrosian was called for by National russian federation on demand of moskow federation since Fischer was beating all Moskow residents.

    Its funky that my comment doesn't show up. If you recently have watched Fischer's biography on you tube then you know this photo was also shown in it.
