The two antagonists played 144 games in five matches. It gave Gary an "I am the greatest syndrome', because he wanted to crush Tolya and only scored 73-71. 1-0 [JvR]

The power of the Soviet empire had been broken after the fall of the Berlin wall. Communism collapsed within a few years. Former Soviet players kept ruling the chess world, but the grip of the apparatchiks had gone. The cycle of the next world championship started in the usual way. An important event was the defeat of Karpov by Short in the semifinals. Nigel triumphed over Jan Timman in the candidates' final. A historical affair occurred, when the challenger and world champion took over the organisation of the match. Short longed for money and Kasparov wanted power. The result was a PCA world championship between the rebels and a FIDE world championship between Karpov and Timman in 1993. The previous year another 'world championship' had been played between Fischer and Spassky in Yugoslavia. The long turn effect on the prestige of chess was disastrous. Sponsors would eventually turn away from the squabbling parties. Kasparov and Short still played in London's Savoy Theatre for 1.7 million pounds. The time control was forty moves in two hours followed by twenty moves in one hour. Adjournment was not needed in any game. The average of three minutes per move would become the norm for 'classical chess'.

The FIDE match was an encounter between Karpov (the former world champion) and Timman (the losing finalist). Half of the event took place in the Dutch cities of Zwolle, Arnhem and Amsterdam. The organisation met dramatic difficulties. Prize money was lacking.

The schism in chess organisation resulted in separate qualification cycles. Young talents reacted with opportunism. Anand and Kamsky were the main rivals. Both players became participants of a world championship match. Anand had qualified for the most notable event: he played versus Kasparov. The match should have been played in Cologne, but the venue became the World Trade Centre in New York. They started with eight draws.
