Kasparov Thought For 83 MINUTES After Karpov’s SHOCKING 9th Move 😱

Today I’d like to share with you the second game from the World Chess Championship Match 1987 between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov. In this interesting game, Kasparov thought for 83 minutes on his 10th move of the game, after he was shocked by Karpov’s 9th move.

Kasparov and Karpov had played 100 games in total at the time of this game, with a total score of 50.5–49.5 in favor of Kasparov. The 1987 World Chess Championship between Karpov and Kasparov was played in Seville from October 12 to December 19, 1987. Before the 24th game, Kasparov was down 12–11, but in the 24th game, Kasparov made a comeback by using the English Opening to win the final game to retain his title.
