In response, FIDE stripped Kasparov of his title, and instead held a title match between Anatoly Karpov and Jan Timman. The matches were won by Kasparov and Karpov respectively. For the first time in history, there were two rival World Chess Champions, a situation which persisted until the World Chess Championship 2006.
The World Chess Federation (FIDE) divides time controls for chess into "classical" time controls, and the fast chess time controls.As of July 2014, for master-level players (with an Elo of 2400 or higher) the regulations state that at least 120 minutes per player (based on a 60-move game) must be allocated for a game to be rated on the "classical" list; [3] for lower-rated players, this can be ...

Karpov, with Kasparov (left) and Dutch Grandmaster Jan Timman (right) in Amsterdam, 1987 Karpov remained a formidable opponent and the world No. 2 until the mid-1990s.

In 2000, Kasparov co-authored Kasparov Against the World: The Story of the Greatest Online Challenge [315] with grandmaster Daniel King. The 202-page book analyses the 1999 Kasparov versus the World game, and holds the record for the longest analysis devoted to a single chess game.
Karpov began a direct attack on Kasparov's king as early as move 15, and had chances to build up a strong attack. Kasparov sacrificed a pawn to blunt the attack and then a second pawn to launch a blistering counterattack. Under pressure from the clock, Karpov made decisive errors on move 36 [34] and move 40. Kasparov won the World Championship ...
Under rapid chess time controls, each player was allowed 25 minutes with an additional 10 seconds after each move. [2] FIDE would re-use these time controls and the "rapid chess" moniker for the 2003 FIDE World Rapid Chess Championship, held in Cap d'Agde. During the World Cup 2013, these time controls were also used for the rapid tiebreak stages.
In desperate time pressure Karpov missed the best defence and by the time the game was adjourned on move 42 Kasparov was a pawn up. Exploiting another mistake by Karpov in the second session of play, Kasparov slowly built his advantage until Karpov resigned on move 64. The match thus ended in a 12–12 tie, with Kasparov remaining World Champion.
