Chess games of the rich and famous: Begin vs. Brzezinksi

Israel's Prime Minister Menachim Begin and Carter administration National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski square off, at Camp David, Maryland - 1978 (September?)

Zbigniew Brzezinski likes chess.  One of his books on diplomacy compares good diplomacy to a chess game – 1997, The Grand Chessboard. In 1978, a nearly two-week negotiating session with President Jimmy Carter acting as intermediary between Egypt’s President Anwar Sadat and Israel’s Prime Minister Menachim Begin led to the peace treaties between Egypt and Israel, known as the Camp David Accords.

This photograph probably was taken sometime during that period in September 1978.
