Can you name the two players sitting at the table?  The two players depicted in the pictures on the wall?  The year and location of this photograph?

Today we give you a double dose of chess trivia, as we challenge you to identify various facts in regard to two separate historical photographs: 

In this first picture, identify the players, the year, the tournament, and what move has just been played (for those experts out there).

The second picture shows a group of youngsters in the city of Leningrad, Russia.  Five of these individuals (pointed out in the photo) are of historical chess significance.  One went on to become world champion, one went on to challange for the title, and the other three are a little less well known.

Who is this revolutionary chess player and what do you know about him?
