The intense rivalry between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov is explored through their first two World Championship matches from 1984 to 1985, featuring a total of 144 encounters. The first match, lasting six months, ended controversially without a result, while the second saw Kasparov emerge as the youngest world champion at age 22. This book delves into the political context of their battles, reflecting the ideological clash between old and new Russia during Gorbachev's era, with Kasparov providing insights into the games and the surrounding politics.
