Another offering from Sara Beth Cohen. The man on the right is a young George Koltanowski, giving a blindfold simul against the men on the left. The site is the Mechanics’ Institute, San Francisco. The stout gentleman in the center is Charles Bagby, who is serving as umpire. The photograph is from the 1950s.
