New York and Lyons: the two arenas of the latest contest for the World Chess Championship between the two greatest names in chess today.
The Champion: charismatic Gary Kasparov, the youngest ever holder of the title and possibly the greatest player in history.
The Challenger: Anatoly Karpov, World Champion for 11 years before Kasparov took his crown, and the record-braking winner of over 80 top class tournaments.
Already, these two giants of the chessboard have faced each other a record 120 times in World Championship play, from the controversial unfinished marathon of 1984-85 to the nail-biting tied contest of 1987. Now they meet once more, and in this detailed account Grandmaster Raymond Keene, one of the world's foremost chess writers, describes the action both on and off the board. Every game is analysed in depth, allowing you to follow the match exactly as it happened. It's the next best thing to being there!
