FIDE (@Fide_chess)


Baguio, Philippines, October 21, 1978. 12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov celebrates his victory in the World Chess Championship match against Viktor Lvovich Kortschnoi at a party that includes champagne punch and a chessboard cake.

This is the beginning of a long story: Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov is giving a simultaneous exhibition and among his opponents (just seated in front of him) is Garry Kimovich Kasparov. Photo: kasparov.com.
