Interest was even higher in the matches between GMs Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov, and the 1993 split in the world championship allowed both to claim a title and thus benefit financially. Adjusting for inflation they remain the two biggest prize money earners in chess; Anand and Carlsen are in third and fourth places respectively. I demanded that the match continued. Kasparov took to the hills and didn’t want to have contact with anyone. The logic was understandable - he’d received the right to start a new match from scratch. Even with the score at 5:3, Kasparov was still hanging by a thread. But they saved him. TActZ.
