In the 1980s, Garry Kasparov was taking the world by storm which reminds me of a time in the 1920s when Jose Raul Capablanca of Cuba was beating everyone in chess. The New York Times reported that Capablanca went eight years without losing a game. In 1982, Kasparov won the rigorous Moscow Interzonal and went on to defeat Viktor Korchnoi, Alexander Belyavsky and Vasily Smyslov in the Candidates matches. At just 23 years of age, Kasparov became Anatoly Karpov’s new World Championship challenger. Up to that point Kasparov had demonstrated he was a brilliant chess technician and he was ready for Karpov. But was he? When the World Championship match began, Kasparov had one win to Karpov’s four, with draws in-between. The first player to reach six wins, would be the winner of the match.
