"It will be a tough match, a close fight...we both want action. To draw a parallel with tennis, we both prefer to play at the net."Garry Kasparov"He is an aggressive player; he is very direct and he likes to have the initiative. But like every chess-player, often his strongest point will be his weakness...if you can crack it."Viswanathan AnandTen years ago, as the leader of a new generation of chess starters, Garry Kasparov wrested the world title from Anatoly Karpov. In New York, having seen off challenges by Karpov and Nigel Short in recent years, Kasparov faced possibly his toughest task yet, against the pick of the latest crop of chess talent, Viswanathan Anand. Would Cadogan's Chief Chess Advisor Garry Kasparov be able to see off the challenge of his 25-year-old opponent?
Or would the Indian 'speed king' Anand finally depose the man who has dominated the chess world for a decade? World Chess Championship 1995 is the gripping story of one of the most eagerly awaited title matches of recent times. Daniel King describes the action both on and off the board in a definitive account that every chess-player will want to read.
