Garry Kasparov on Modern Chess,
Part 3: Kasparov v Karpov 1986-87
Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov are unquestionably the protagonists
who featured in the greatest ever chess rivalry. Between 1984 and 1990
they contested five long matches for the World Championship. This 3rd
volume of the,’Garry Kasparov on Modern Chess’ series concentrates on
the third and fourth matches in this sequence: London/Leningrad 1986
and Seville 1987. Both matches were tremendously exciting and hard
fought and both produced chess of an extremely high level.
