World Chess Championship 1990
The World Chess Championship 1990 was played between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov. It was the fifth and final Kasparov–Karpov championship match, and saw Kasparov win by a single point. The first twelve games were played in New York City from 8 October to 7 November and the other half was played in Lyon from 26 November to 30 December. The players for the candidates tournament (the tournament to decide who will challenge the world championship) were selected as the top three winners of three interzonals, which were held in Subotica, Yugoslavia, Szirák, Hungary and Zagreb, Yugoslavia, respectively. The remaining players were the four runners up to the previous candidates tournament, a wild card (Kevin Spraggett), and Karpov, who qualified automatically by dint of having been the challenger for the previous world championship.
