At the beginning of January our friend Calle Erlandsson
returned to Sweden from a two-week trip to Cuba - just in time to take
successfully part in the ChessCafe Holiday Quiz. We would like to show
you some of his photos he recently sent us.

A
duty visit for chess historians
- Calle Erlandsson at the grave of J. R. Capablanca at the "Cementerio
de Cristóbal Colón" in Havana. |
Capablanca's grave is decorated in a manner befitting his rank - with
a large chess king.
At the pedestal below the king the inscription with Capablanca's name
is visible (see picture below).
