The 1987 match for the World Championships was the fourth meeting between those two giants of the modern game, Garry Kasparov and Anatoli Karpov. In a fluctuating struggle, neither player was able to establish a decisive superiority and the contest culminated in a cliff-hanging finish, with the destination of the World Championship title hanging on the result of the very last game.
The twenty-four games produced a number of opening innovations, hard-fought middlegames, subtle endgames, and... blunders, showing that even world Champions are after all human. Ken Neat, Cadogan's experienced Russian series adviser, has used a variety of Russian sources to produce this highly readable account of an absorbing match.
