World Chess Championship 1993From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. |
The World Chess Championship 1993 was held from 1990 to 1993. It was one of the most controversial in history, with incumbent World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov, and official challenger Nigel Short, splitting from FIDE, the official world governing body of chess, and playing their title match under the auspices of the Professional Chess Association. In response, FIDE stripped Kasparov of his title, and instead held a title match between Anatoly Karpov and Jan Timman. The matches were won by Kasparov and Karpov respectively. For the first time in history, there were two rival World Chess Champions, a situation which persisted until the World Chess Championship 2006. Qualification The final four players from the 1988-90 Candidates tournament - Karpov, Timman, Yusupov and Speelman - were seeded directly into the Candidates. They were joined by the top 11 finishers from the Interzonal, which was held as a 64-player Swiss system tournament. These 15 players played a series of Candidates matches. If matches were tied after the allotted games, extra pairs of rapid chess games were played until one player had the lead. PCA match The Kasparov-Short final was a best of 24, played in London, England between September and October 1993. FIDE match Karpov won the best-of-24 match 12.5 to 8.5 (six wins to two, with thirteen draws). |
