In the fifth installment of Garry Kasparov's acclaimed
history of the World Chess Championship, readers are transported to the
post-Fischer era of the 1970s and early 1980s, a period dominated by the
rivalry between Anatoly Karpov, the reigning world champion from 1975 to 1985,
and his perennial challenger, Viktor Korchnoi.
Anatoly Karpov's ascent to the world championship began
in 1974 when he earned the right to challenge Bobby Fischer by emerging
victorious in the Candidates series. However, Fischer's refusal to defend the
title resulted in Karpov being crowned champion "by default" in 1975.
Despite the unconventional circumstances of his ascension to the title, Karpov
quickly proved his worth as a champion by dominating the chess world, winning
virtually every major tournament over the next decade.
In this indispensable volume, essential for any serious
chess player, Kasparov delves deeply into Karpov's greatest games, offering
profound insights into his strategic brilliance and enduring legacy. From his
precise positional play to his mastery of endgame technique, Karpov's
contributions to the game of chess are meticulously analyzed and evaluated.
Furthermore, Kasparov shines a spotlight on Viktor
Korchnoi, Karpov's formidable challenger who twice contested the world
championship title during this period. Korchnoi, at the peak of his powers,
provided Karpov with formidable opposition, showcasing his tactical ingenuity
and fighting spirit on the chessboard.
Through Kasparov's expert analysis and compelling
narrative, readers gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics that defined
this era of chess history. From the fierce battles between Karpov and Korchnoi
to the strategic innovations and enduring legacies of these two chess titans,
this book offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most captivating
periods in the history of the World Chess Championship.
