Friday chess trivia question: Who is this amazing grandmaster?

Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011

Hi everyone,

Your Friday trivia chess question is here: Who is this grandmaster?

We have a nice hint for you too: Hans Suri, creator of the Festival International de Bienne in 1968 as an organizer until 1997, invited an impressive number of World Chess Champions and International Grandmasters. Among them were a few extraordinary ones. This photograph was taken against during the Interzonal Tournament in Biel in 1976. This young American became University Professor, Economic Advisor to the White House and chief economist at the FMI. He currently teaches at the prestigious Harvard University.
Can you guess who he is? You can check your answer at CaissaEnigma!
