Wish I was a friend of Dr. Henry Walton Jones - who knows what he might unearth?

He's good at these things, he could have posted here but for some reason he wishes not too.
(probably does not want to admit he's a friend of mine :) )

We have names, a place and a date.
Out of curiosity I'd like to know where the TV crew got the position from but this quest is solved.

MCO 10 (the 1st chess book I bought) does have the same line. It goes down to 9. ... O-O in column 15 on on page 10 and then the game continues in note l on page 12 upt to "15. Q-Q5 (Hajek-Richter, Prague 1949( is unclear". So both MCO 10 and 11 omit the continuation 15. ... BxP 16. PxB P-QR3 which is in MCO 9. (BxP should have been BxRP of course as the next move makes clear). Based on the MCO 9 text just BxP was played in the game and 16. PxB P-QR3 is analysis/ comment by the compiler.
