Karpov and Kasparov's epic 1984-1985 battle for world chess supremacy is
fondly celebrated as a chess classic, and it was even seen as a harbinger of
the collapse of communism. It was now celebrated in an anniversary rematch
in the Spanish city of Valencia. But 25 years ago, the match, which included
a record 40 drawn games, was often regarded as tedious and was even jeered
and booed by frustrated spectators. When the Guardian's chess correspondent
Leonard Barden reviewed the longest-running world championship chess match,
the headline was "The bored game to end them all".
Sounding almost as exhausted as Karpov, who lost 8 kg during the match,
Barden wrote: "Proclaimed the chess match of the year, it was a bore for
long periods ... Anatoly Karpov, classical stylist, and Garry Kasparov,
young dynamic risk-taker, just didn't gel at the board."
