Bobby and Friends

 

Source: Chess Review, December 1956, p. 375

Herbert Halsegger notifies us of the "Game of the Century" issue of Chess Review, featuring Bobby Fischer (then 13) at play, with other famous chess friends, of which one was no other than Edward Lasker. Reshevsky is also mentioned. 

It was in this issue that Fischer's famous "game of the century" against Donald Byrne was published, with the cover amazingly showing Fischer just before he played the famous 17...Be6!! that won the game. Apparently, this is not a re-enactment, as noted in the following chessbase article: The game that shook the world | ChessBase.
