MOSCOW MARATHON is the definitive account of the 1984-85 World chess championship between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov. Billed as 'the match of the century' it became a unique test of endurance and ended in chaos and controversy. This book is aimed at the reader with an interest in chess and combines detailed scrutiny of the games with an eye-witness account of the proceedings in Moscow. No other record of the match has this combination of careful research and constant, on the spot reportage. Grandmaster Speelman, the current (1985!), British Champion is a noted chess analyst, whilst International Master Tisdall is one of the few 'titled' players working as full-time reporter and covered the match for REUTERS.
