{ The moral winner of the aborted match was Kasparov. He had avoided a terrible
defeat and gained the right of a second match. The practical winner was Karpov.
He had kept the world title and got the right of a rematch, if he would lose
number two.  Karpov had started his reign in a questionable way, because his
win over Korchnoi in 1974 was the result of a better preparation and Fischer
had forfeited. Thereafter, he had won many tournaments and defeated Korchnoi
twice. His start in the first match against Kasparov was the highlight of his
career. However, he had shown signs of exhaustion in long matches.  Kasparov's
play had been a combination of Botvinnik's simpleness and Alekhine's tactics.
This approach was not good enough against Karpov's prophylaxis. Gary became a
great pupil of Tolya. He learned the subtle ties of defensive play in
forty-eight lessons.  The best score in twenty-four games became the criterion
of the second match. The decisive games are selected for presentation.
Kasparov played the first game in the style of his opponent. } 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Nf3 c5 5. g3 Ne4 6. Qd3 Qa5 7. Qxe4 Bxc3+ 8. Bd2 Bxd2+ 9. Nxd2 Qb6 $5 10. dxc5 $1 Qxb2 11. Rb1 Qc3 12.
