1.


2.


Answer


Mrinalini gets the whole thing.Raghavan and Mitalee get the "unfake" photo.The fake photo is quite (in)famous in its own way and I wanted the term "9/11 Tourist Guy" who has since turned into an internet meme.
Quoting Mrinalini:
"(1) is a shot of a 1995 match played atop the World Trade Centre between Kasparov (defending his title) and Anand, coincidentally on Sep 11.

Six years later, the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened. (2) is a guy supposedly snapped moments before the attack. (2) was proven to be an internet hoax. "Tourist Guy" has since then been in several other fake internet photos."



Happy Quizzing,
