Funny that Messi, being an argentinian, was portrayed getting into a Najdorf with black, as Najdorf was a polish-argentinian grand master. Kudos to the producer of the photoshoot!
I'm honestly surprised media people who know jack shit about chess don't just copy games/positions more often. I mean it takes like 5 seconds to look one up, and that's all they need to do. Meanwhile we have people misplacing kings, queens, rooks?! in the starting position, and it's just baffling.
I think there is also another meaning which was to symbolize balance because when there is a draw neither side wins showing balance so neither sides can be superior to the other.
My little brother loves futbol and of course, Messi and Ronaldo, so when he saw me playing chess after this picture, he wanted to play with me and learn more about it.
