Who copied who?Because this ChessMaster personality has been with us for over 10 years at least, maybe Yusupov has grown up to look like him because I think 10 years ago he looked alot different.
Lets not create another Clone topic :P

Wow, had no idea. An image search for chessmaster does in fact reveal a very similar image! Artur Yusupov should ask for royalties!

This is a picture of Yusupov years after the launch of Chessmaster, I think we can say that Yusupov gradually will be a clone of Chessmaster.

The closest person who resembles the Chessmaster is Grandaff from Harry Potter, in fact it looks like they used his picture for the program.
