I couldn’t solve it although I didn’t quite spend the time I should have. Please study the image first before looking at the solution below it.

I don’t know how to describe Kasparyan’s talent as all words seem superfluous…perhaps it is best to study what he left us with instead. The problem below has a beautiful final position, so you won’t be disappointed if you solve it (and it’s not that hard by his standards as many moves are easy to find). There is a link below showing the final position if you need it.
It’s white to play and win in 9 (hint: the Bishop needs to change the diagonal it is on first of all).
