In 1993 and 1995 respectively, Kasparov beat off challenges from Nigel Short and Vishy Anand. In 2000, Kasparov's third title defence in London, he eventually succumbed to a fresh challenge from the Russian grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik.

Great Chess Book
30 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
Did you know that it is five times easier to climb Mount Everest or to become a dollar billionaire than it is to beat World Champion Gary Kasparov at chess? These two amazing facts arise from Grandmaster Raymond Keene's in-depth study of the games lost by the most highly rated player in history. The book is packed with insights into the World Champion's playing style, and contains all of his losses since entering the highest levels of Grandmaster chess in 1981. So if you want to know just how it is that even the very best can be beaten, you'll find a wealth of entertainment and instruction here. Raymond Keene is a British Grandmaster who is uniquely placed to comment on the World Champion's play, having worked closely with Kasparov on a number of projects, including the definitive openings reference book "Openings 2". He is also the presenter of Thames Television's coverage of the 1990 World Championship match and is chess correspondent for The Times and The Spectator. -from book's back cover
