That is a rare one! Elated Kasparov in Leningrad-1975. 12-years-old Garik praised by Botvinnik. Soon-to-become GM Vladimir Bagirov who also hailed from Baku is the third person I can recognize on this fabulous picture.

Leningrad, 1975. That's GM Bagirov in the middle with the hypnotic tie. He was the captain of the Baku youth team I led in the Pioneers vs GMs simuls, including my first game vs Karpov.
