Commenter #3 (anon 12:45) was correct for one day in 1978: Ken Rogoff was originally intending to play in the 1978 Tungsram International in Budapest, and I in the World Student Team Championship beginning the same week in nearby Graz, Austria. But a late change in plans led us to swap events, and our names were deemed similar enough (in those pre-red-list days) that the USCF just exchanged our tickets rather than make new ones. So I flew from London with my ticket saying “Ken Rogoff” and vice-versa.
Some of the facial features make him look like Michael Wilder, whom I knew much better in the 1970s. But by the time we met and drew in the 1978 US Championship, Rogoff’s face was more like his current photo but with full hair, and if I recall right, a short mustache.
Michael Wilder?
Patrick Wolff.
Ken Regan?
It’s Ken Rogoff, who is now an economist at Harvard.
He looks somewhat like current Grandmaster Michael Wilder, who now is retired from chess and lives in Canada.
