{ The power of the Soviet empire had been broken after the fall of the Berlin
wall. Communism collapsed within a few years. Former Soviet players kept
ruling the chess world, but the grip of the apparatchiks had gone.  The cycle
of the next world championship started in the usual way. An important event
was the defeat of Karpov by Short in the semifinals. Nigel triumphed over Jan
Timman in the candidates' final. A historical affair occurred, when the
challenger and world champion took over the organisation of the match. Short
longed for money and Kasparov wanted power. The result was a PCA world
championship between the rebels and a FIDE world championship between Karpov
and Timman in 1993. The previous year another 'world championship' had been
played between Fischer and Spassky in Yugoslavia.  The long turn effect on the
prestige of chess was disastrous. Sponsors would eventually turn away from the
squabbling parties.  Kasparov and Short still played in London's Savoy Theatre
for 1.7 million pounds. The time control was forty moves in two hours followed
by twenty moves in one hour. Adjournment was not needed in any game. The
average of three minutes per move would become the norm for 'classical chess'. } 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 O-O 8. a4 Bb7 9. d3 Re8 10.
