IN ITS OWN WAY...:

Kasparov and Karpov in chess duel (BBC, 9/21/09)

One of the greatest rivalries in the history of chess is due to resume as Garry Kasparov takes on Anatoly Karpov in the Spanish city of Valencia.

The 12-game rematch takes place 25 years after the two chess legends first competed for the world title.

That epic, gruelling encounter lasted five months in Moscow, before being called off without a clear winner.

...that match too signalled the end of the Soviet Union, as they had to intervene to save the apparatchick from the Jew.
