It would have been a picture that says 1,000 words had the position on the screen been this:



This position occurred at the same event (not the same game, but the same match Kramnik vs Deep Fritz) and the following move has been called the:

BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY.

It's Kramnik to move playing the black pieces.

He plays Qe3 (for non chess players: he moved his Queen to the square just "south" of the white Queen).

What he overlooked was the obvious Mate in One Qh7# (White Queen to the square in the top right of the board "south" of the black King - Checkmate!)

This picture should always come with some explanation as people who don't follow history probably have no idea the minutes that happened after this picture was taken. Everytime I see this picture I always wonder if the tanks rode over the man or they stopped. You simply can't tell from looking at that picture alone.

In this photograph taken by the U.S. Army in April 1951, provided by the U.S. National Archives, South Korean troops shoot political prisoners near Daegu, South Korea. The South Korean government's Truth and Reconciliation Commission is investigating such mass political executions during the Korean War, and the U.S. military's connection with them.

This photograph would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. With the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta was able to win a raffle that gave her the first off-the-ship kiss, a Navy tradition, with her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell.

Associated Press (Brian J. Clark) When the couple began dating, they had to hide their status under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. The 17-year-old policy was repealed in September. On Wednesday, in front of Gaeta’s entire ship and a cheering crowd, the two women made history as the first same-sex couple to share the coveted kiss.
