This book recounts the third of the five chapters in the half-decade long rivalry which erupted between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov. In the eyes of many this conflict symbolised the clash between the Brezhnev-inspired forces of reaction in the old USSR and the new Gorbachev/Yeltsin-driven imperatives of perestroika and glasnost which ultimately led to the collapse of the creaking Soviet empire, this match was held in London and Leningrad and was the first all-Soviet summit to be staged outside the USSR!
Books on the Karpov-Kasparov clashes of 1984,1985,1987 and 1990 are also published by Hardinge Simpole.
David Goodman is an International Master who resides in New York.
