FIDE

World Chess Championship


Anatoly Karpov - Garry Kasparov

Moscow 10.09.1984 - 10.02.1985

It was the longest match in the history of the world chess matches. However, at the end the winner wasn't announced - the match was stoped after 48 games and over 4 months of play with the score standing at 5-3 in favour of the defending Champion, Anatoly Karpov. At that point FIDE President Campomanes intervened and ordered the match to be stoped, while a new contest was scheduled to take place half a year later in Moscow, under a game limit of 24 games to be played with the Champion retaining his title in case of a tie.
