25 years ago: termination of the first K-K match

By master

It was one of the most controversial decisions in chess history: on February 15, 1985, the President of FIDE Florencio Campomanes terminated the World Championship match between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov after 48 games. Twenty years later “Campo” spoke about the reasons for the step he took. A new book published in Russia contradicts his version. Video and book extract.
