The book covers the period of Karpov and Kasparov as the world title holders. Anatoly Karpov: «The third volume of this work contains games form several matches in which I have participated. I can say that every such match is a tough experience demanding a great expenditure of mental and physical effort. For the champion to be victorious, his purely chess skill, knowledge and memory are not always sufficient – these qualities are also possessed by his opponent, who has defeated his rivals in a succession of qualifying competitions. But even so, it is more often the existing champion who wins… This is why, until very recently, there had been very few of them – only thirteen. Now the chess world is witnessing the birth of a new system for conducting the world championship, in which it would seem that the element of luck will play a significant role. This has been explained by the increasing tempo of life, and by the need to make chess a more attractive spectacle for those who do not understand the deep meaning of chess moves. It will be a pity if future champions do not become genuine idols for those who value our wonderful game, to whom this absorbing book is addressed»
