on BBC Two England

ANATOLY KARPOV and GARY KASPAROV , two of the world's greatest chess champions, have played 48 games since September last year in the battle for the World Chess Championship in Moscow. With an unprecedented number of drawn games and the score at 5-3 in favour of reigning champion Karpov, the match was abruptly cancelled and a replay arranged for September. Jeremy James and Bill Hartston look at the events that have led to some of the stormiest scenes in the world of chess since the Fischer/Spassky match in Iceland in 1972, and which could lead to major changes in international tournaments.
