The latest episode of the
Full English Breakfast (see
FEB in May
for links and whatnot), featured the recent Aronian - Kramnik match:
no.21 - The Big Boys.
The image accompanying the audio clip (do people still call them podcasts?) pictured the heads of the 'big boys' immortalized as bronze busts. The credit accompanying the image led to the home page of
Bertrand Freiesleben,
sculptor of
köpfe. The photos accompanying the home page included the following image, which I've captured for posterity.
Korchnoi contemplating the bust of Kortchnoi
Although I found nothing more about the Korchnoi / Kortchnoi seance on the Freiesleben site, Google will lead you to various accounts after you supply the appropriate keywords. The Kramnik seance, which made the cover of NIC, is documented on the sculptor's site:
