Reti standing behind the referee. Bald guy on the far right is Tartakower.
Capablanca gives a simul (date unknown). Footage is dodgy, but is only one of three
known videos with Capablanca. Time will no doubt unearth more.
Images with Botvinnik and Flohr, presumed from their matches in the 1930s
Footage from the famous 1946 match between the USA and the Soviet Union. It featured
Botvinnik-Reschevsky, Smyslov-Denker, and more.
Scenes from the famous 1951 world title match between Botvinnik and Bronstein
Video depicting Efim Geller and Vassily Smyslov from the 1955 USSR Championship

Live images from the 1963 World Championship, crowning Petrosian and ending the
Botvinnik era.
A number of scenes of a young Mikhail Tal
