They are the best chessplayers in the world - and the bitterest of rivals.
Now, after 130 previous encounters, with little to choose between them in pure chess ability, Kasparov is seeking to establish his superiority over Karpov, once and for all. From the other side of the chessboard Karpov has a burning ambition to regain the title which he lost in 1985.
Can Karpov's immovable strategy blunt Kasparov's irresistible, but risky attacks? Or will the challenger fail to withstand the brilliance and aggression of an opponent who is the highest rated player in chess history?
In this book, written from the ring side in New York and Lyons, the Grandmaster commentaries to all the games reveal the answers to these fascinating questions.
