Anastasia Karlovich and David Lyada's photos plunge us in the atmosphere of the unusual competition that took place in San Sebastian, Spain. The novelty of the experiment, based on David Bronstein's suggestions and exhibition games, was that the players competed in two simultaneous games. The winner was decided in Volokitin - Laznichka duel; and here's how it was before the final.
