Karpov kasparov 1984

The Karpov-Kasparov rivalry was a chess rivalry that existed between grandmasters Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparovwho were the 12th and 13th World Chess Champions respectively.

With Anatoly Karpov having "inherited" the world title, he was eager to win as many tournaments as possible to prove that he was worthy of the title. And this he did. Besides winning such tournaments as Milan , Las Palmas , Bugojno , Montreal the "Tournament of Stars" , Linares , and many others, Karpov simply had a phenomenal score against all of his main competitors. It is easy to forget today -- after the emergence of Garry Kasparov and Magnus Carlsen -- but Karpov dominated world chess in a way that nobody had done in a long time, perhaps ever. He also defended his title twice in matches against Viktor Korchnoi , the first time since the qualification system was instituted in that the champion had defended his title more than once in a row.

After 5 months and 48 games, the match was abandoned in controversial circumstances with Karpov leading 5 wins to 3 with 40 draws , and replayed in the World Chess Championship Three Interzonal tournaments were held. The top two finishers in each qualified. The match ended 3—3; Tal became first reserve because of his better tie break score in the main event, but eventually no reserves were needed. The eight players participated in a series of knockout matches. The winner was Garry Kasparov. After playing four extra games without breaking the tie, the match was resolved by a spin of the roulette wheel. Funnily enough, the ball went into the zero on the first spin, before deciding in favor of Smyslov. Politics threatened Kasparov's semi-final match against Viktor Korchnoi , which was scheduled to be played in Pasadena, California. Korchnoi had defected from the Soviet Union in , and was at that time the strongest active non-Soviet player. Various political manoeuvres prevented Kasparov from playing Korchnoi in the United States, and Kasparov forfeited the match.
