--*--

The Baku chess tournament, held in Baku, Azerbaijan in 1980, was a category X event. An assortment of chess masters and grandmasters competed in the round robin event. The sixteen participants were (in order of ELO): Garry Kasparov (2595), Alexander Beliavsky (2590), Eugenio Torre (2520), Istvan Csom (2510), Eduard Gufeld (2510), Lothar Vogt (2510), Adrian Mikhalchishin (2490), Igor Zaitsev (2490), Vladimir Antoshin (2480), Karen Grigorian (2475), Slobodan Martinovic (2475), Silvino Garcia-Martinez (2450), Jiri Lechtynsky (2450), Elmar Magerramov (2435), Nikola Padevsky (2415), and Maia Chiburdanidze (2400). 17 year old Kasparov followed up his impressive win at Banja Luka the year before with another undefeated victory, this time edging out Beliavsky by half a point in the final.
