Kasparov vs Short - Speed Chess Challenge Pt.1

Live at the Hippodrome, 1987. World Champion Garry Kasparov goes against the highest rated British player Nigel Short for the London Docklands Speed Chess Challenge Trophy. Nigel desperately needs a win after losing the first 2 games to the World Champion. Very original play by both players. Kasparov unusually plays the Reti and Short answers with the Chigorin Defense. Live commentary by Grandmaster Ray Keene.
