Tal vs. Botvinnik Caricature

In this caricature by G. Kovanov, Mikhail Tal and Mikhail Botvinnik are depicted as boxers. In the first picture they are starting their first round and in the second, after the last round, Botvinnik is proclaimed champion. In 1961, Botvinnik, who lost the title to Tal a year earlier, exercised his right to a rematch. He defeated Tal and regained the World Chess Championship crown.
