Definitely, when viewing the Black&White version, I thought Alexander Alekhine was wearing some sort of military uniform. Now seeing this photo with color it looks more like a hotel concierge uniform.whereagles wrote:that photo was colored, right?

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

How old is Alekhine on this photo? Students used to wear uniforms in the late 1800's/early 1900's...
