Chess is a great way to soothe a fevered mind, relax, and strengthen reasoning skills.
Photo by Cornell Capa:
Cornell Capa (April 10, 1918 – May 23, 2008) was a Hungarian American photographer, member of Magnum Photos, and photo curator, and the younger brother of photo-journalist and war photographer Robert Capa. Graduating from Imre Madách Gymnasium in Budapest, he initially intended to study medicine, but instead joined his brother in Paris to pursue photography. Cornell was an ambitious photo enthusiast who founded the world-known International Center of Photography in New York in 1974[2] with help from Micha Bar-Am after a stint of working for both Life magazine and Magnum Photos.
I wonder who were the two men playing the game? What happened to them?

Very tanned, or melanin-rich. As bad as Attica was at the time, it was integrated, and not so “ganged up” as some prisons now.
Read a story some time back about a prison in Maine, in which a teacher instilled chess with an annual competition for chess champion. Participants regarded it as high honor. Winner got a certificate, and those who won and got out, kept those certificates as if they were diplomas from Ivy League schools.
Chess was a great help to them, comfort and correction at the same time.
There’s a book there.

The link to Capa’s testimony was fascinating. I wonder about the two men also. Is one Black? Hard to tell.
