The World Chess Championship

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Jeremy James introduces the last of four reports on the Challenger's Final, currently taking place in Vilnyus, Lithuania. The contenders are fighting for the right to challenge ANATOLY KARPOV for the title of World Chess Champion.
VASSILY SMYSLOV is a former World Champion, but GARY KASPAROV has been described as 'the new tiger of chess' and has been tipped as the man most likely to topple Karpov.
