Congratulations if you spotted that the famous GM is Ulf Andersson, the Swedish positional maestro who came to fame in the 1970’s.  The simul was a side event at the European Senior Championships held in Acqui Terme, Italy, from the end of May to the beginning of June.

Here is Ulf fifty years ago in 1973, aged just 22.
