Kniazer Caricature

 


The above caricature of Kniazer, by M. Props [ph. spelling], appeared in Davar, Feb. 14th, 1947, p. 2  That is, it appeared on the 14th page of Dvar Ha'shavuah, the weekly weekend supplement of Davar, following the ten-page daily newspaper. The title is, "Kniazer's secret weapon: the cigarette." Indeed, Kniazer (like many chess players at the time, e.g. Aloni) was a chain smoker who was rarely seen without a cigarette while playing.
