Very interesting and informative. I never knew that there were so many draws between them in 1984! It was before I realy got interested by the game. By the time I learned to play, Kasparov was already World Champion(1987 I think).

hi Connie, yes, that was a lot of draws … I think they were lazy… 🙂

I liked the old photos from the 80s. It was the last series of championship matches that was played without the significant use of computers. Games could still be adjourned because there were no computers that could analyse the games during adjournment that were stronger than the players or their teams of seconds. Because of that, I consider Kasparov to be the last world champion whose championship was based solely on his own merits.

Hi Dan, yes, I liked the old photos too, that’s why I put them up. 🙂
I think these games are more sentimental than anything else. 🙂

Nikita, toe ek die aankondiging van die re-match op die TV gesien het, het jou blog in my gedagtes op gekom. As ‘n groot skaak liefhebber maak jy jou seker kort-kort, bietjies-bietjies nat. Ek dink die aanhoudende, opbouende nuusbrokkies te same met ‘n close finish kan die toernooi dalk wondere doen vir skaak as ‘n sport. Geniet dit!

Hi bluegrassbaobab…welkom hier! Jy het my nogal laat smile met jou segoed hier. Ek wens net ek het meer tyd gehad om meer oor hulle games te blog, sal vanaand meer kan oplaai. Ek weet nie wie ek wil he moet wen nie, maar ek sal Karpov darem meer wil sien wen as verloor. 🙂
