Result: Anatoly Karpov retains the World Title.
See the Games of the Match!
This match was stopped prematurely by FIDE President, Florencio Campomanes, claiming that both
Players were exhausted (both denied it), The match was aborted, making Karpov the de facto
winner, but a new match in the old Best of 24 format was ordered for later in 1985.
Yes, this was a huge controversy, about which the screaming hasn't quite died down even today.
Maybe we'll post some more on this later.
Karpov's FIDE rating going in was 2705. Kasparov's was 2715.
